On The Day of the Graduation Ceremony

• Your presence is more important to us than your attire. Please don’t stay home just because you think you have nothing to wear. Clean, casual, semi-formal clothing is fine.

• Arrive at the venue 20 minutes prior to the ceremony. As there are a large number of graduates, it is critical to be on time. There will be a table reserved for you and your guests. Please look for your picture and name card. The ceremony will start on time so please don't be late.

• Out of respect for all graduates, we ask that you and your guests stay for the entire program.

• A group photo of all graduating classes will be taken at the end of the ceremony for publishing in local newspapers and on our website. Please remain for this activity.
