If you are graduating you must arrive no later than 2:00 p.m. to prepare for the ceremony. Please bring your regalia but please leave other large items home. Your guests may arrive later, but you need to be in your assigned room by 2:00 p.m. We require this to make sure that we have the correct diploma for every single student in the correct order. If you are late or inattentive, this throws off the diploma count and then many students are inconvenienced. Please be considerate of your classmates by coming on time and following our directions.
