Jostens Delivery Day
The day we return after spring break, Monday April 11th, Jostens will be in the downstairs receiving area, next to room 103, to hand out Graduation Caps, Gowns, Medallions and Announcements from 10:30 am -12:30 pm. If you ordered anything from Jostens please go and collect it during your LUNCH (3rd period).
REMINDER: Tickets for Graduation and Prom are withheld from students who have outstanding fines and fees at the ASB office. Please take care of those now so you are not disappointed later!
(If you need financial assistance call or visit Ms. Robinson in the ASB office; we are here to help whenever it is possible, but leaving it to the last minute always results in frustration and upset. We want to avoid that as much as you do!)
Looking for Performers!
Do you want to perform at our 2022 graduation?

2022 Laurels Night is Thursday, May 26
What is Laurels Night?
Laurels Night is an event with a dual purpose. The first is to recognize seniors who have earned scholarships for post-secondary education. We invite community groups such as the Kiwanis, the Rotary, and others to come that night to officially present their scholarship awards.
The second purpose is to celebrate our Seniors’ academic successes. On Laurels Night, we present medals to our Valedictorians, Salutatorians, and our top scholar students, and stoles to Senior Class and ASB officers.
Money, Money, Money!
If you have been awarded a scholarship, grant, or other financial award for post-secondary education, we want to know! Please come by the Guidance Office or Career Center or check out your Grade Level Google Classroom to get the form to report your awards to us. We want to celebrate your success!
Class of 2022 Future Plans
Do you have a plan for next year? Then we have a Wolf Paw for you!
We want to recognize the many paths our seniors will take after graduation. If you have been accepted to a college, university, trade school, community college, or other training program, we want to know! If you are enlisting in the military, we want to know! If you are going into the workforce, we want to know!
Come by the Guidance Office to fill out your Wolf Paw and we will put it in the hallway display case.
Last call for Yearbooks!
There are a limited number of yearbooks left for purchase. If you haven’t bought your senior yearbook, don’t wait! Last year we sold out and there were no extras for purchase.
Yearbooks can be bought at the ASB office for $60 or online at the school web store.
Senior Class Photo
This year's senior class aerial photo will be taken on the football field at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, April 22nd by Olympic Photo Group.
Seniors will be released from class at SKHS at 1:15 p.m. to participate, in order to still be able to catch the bus home where applicable. Running Start and West Sound Tech students are encouraged to attend if possible.
