Dear Senior Parents:

In an effort to facilitate planning for the last months of your senior’s high school career, the high school staff has developed this Senior Booklet. This booklet outlines important senior information for the months ahead, in chronological order by date of the events.
Please read this information carefully and plan for the most exciting time of your senior’s life.

If you have any questions concerning this information, please ask your administrator, Kathy Miller or your counselor, Paulette Kirby.

Sincerely,


Bobby Morris
Principal

Graduation is a formal ceremony and we are guests of Reed Arena and are expected to respect their property. During the graduation exercises, mature conduct is expected.
Seating is on a first come basis. No tickets are issued, as there is ample space available in the Arena. The entrances that will be open to attend graduation are the East, the Main, and the North. The balcony section of the arena will NOT be opened until the lower level has filled.

A professional photographer from ImaginLight will be on duty to take pictures of all graduating Seniors. Picture packets will be given to students at the Senior Breakfast on Thursday, June 5. Danny Runnels Video will video the graduation. The video will be VHS or DVD and will cost $20 each. Mr. Runnels will provide self-addressed envelopes with order forms for all students.

Young men are asked to wear dress slacks or dress jeans, a white shirt and a tie. Shoes and socks must be worn with the gown and boys will not be allowed to walk with beards and/or “stubble.” Young ladies are to wear dresses, dress shoes and/or dress sandals that compliment the gown. Young ladies should not bring a purse with them. Flip Flops, tennis shoes, and casual sandals are not allowed for girls or boys.

Seniors will wear hats with mortarboard flat. There are to be no markings on the mortarboard. Seniors will begin with the tassel on the left side and will move it to the right side when told to do so. Boys will remove mortarboard during National Anthem, prayer and pledge; they will then replace mortarboard on head and fix tassel. Girls do not remove hats. No corsages on the gowns are allowed.
