Cap and Gown Ordering
Cap and Gown
The deadline to order graduation regalia is February 24th, 2023.
Any questions about ordering should be directed to Amiot directly. Please see button below to order and pay.
Cap & Gown Portraits
Seniors will have a cap & gown photo which will be part of the senior class photo, in March. There are no picture retakes for this opportunity. This is free for our seniors to take and be included in the photo, with the opportunity to purchase through the photographer. They'll be called down during the time window to take their solo photo in a cap & gown. Photos will be available for purchase at a later time. Please contact Kemmetmueller Photography directly for more information.
Senior Cap & Gown Photos options to order photos for seniors who take their picture in early spring for Cap & Gown are listed below. It will be the same process as in the fall that you should have received a link via email with ordering options. Be on the look out for this information. Contact Kemmetmueller directly if you have any questions.

10. Be sure to secure a ride home before the end of the evening. Prom is over at 11:00pm sharp! We have been communicated that everyone will need to exit the building by 11:15pm as they will need to lock the doors and get ready for an event the next morning. Do not wait until 11:00 to find a ride!
