Class of 2023 Cap and Gown Ordering
Seniors! Ordering a cap and gown is an important part of taking place in the graduation ceremony. The link below is a direct link to the standard cap and gown package. If you would like to order additional senior gear from Josten’s, please feel free to visit their site at Jostens.com for a list of options. Orders for cap and gowns need to be in by February of 2023.
Additionally, students are not allowed to have decorated caps for the graduation ceremony. Some students like to have a decorated cap for the senior walk. Students who like to do this have done one of two things:
- Ordered an extra cap so they could decorate that one
- Decorated a piece of poster board or cardboard and taped it to their cap for the walk and could remove it for the ceremony.

Class of 2023 Yearbook Photos
The deadline to get your senior photo in the yearbook is here. The photo you take for your student ID is not the photo used for your senior year. You must go to a professional photographer and get a portrait taken. We recommend Sieloff Studios. If you take your photo with a different photographer, the deadline is December 9th to hand in or email the photo to Mr. Flanagan. Sieloff is booked up and is taking appointments until January 1st. Call them now. If the cost of a photo is an issue, see or email Mr. Flanagan privately.
