Each graduate will be issued a maximum of four (4) tickets for graduation. The tickets will be used only for the indoor ceremony in case of rain. Tickets will be distributed with caps and gowns on May 2. There will be enough seating for the outside ceremony so that it will not be necessary to receive tickets. Seating will be provided on the athletic field and bleachers. For your convenience, we have made arrangements with Chappell Studio for a professional photographer to record the moment you are awarded your diploma. You will receive a passport-sized full-color proof in the mail approximately one week after the ceremony. There is no obligation to purchase, and you will have the option of ordering several enlargement packages at very reasonable prices. This service will enable all students to have a photograph of their graduation. Family members and friends are encouraged to remain in their seats and enjoy the ceremony. Personal picture-taking can be done prior to or after the graduation ceremony. Chappell Studio guarantees complete satisfaction with your photograph or you will receive a full refund.
