- blouse or shirt with a collar (dress or polo)
- skirt/dress pants/slacks/khakis
- shoes: flats or platform shoes (no shoes with spiked heels) or hard soled dress shoes with socks; spiked/narrow heeled shoes may cause ankle injuries and can damage our field
- no jeans, shorts or sweatpants are allowed.
Graduation is an important milestone in student's lives. Graduates and families should not bring/wear items that are distracting in nature or take away from the ceremonial aspect of graduation.
Caps, Gowns and Stoles, Oh My!
If you haven't ordered your cap/gown yet, you must contact Premier Grad Products right away - premiergradproducts.com / 916-435-2331.
Later this spring (beginning in May), pins, patches, and cords will be distributed separately by the teachers/departments honoring their students. Patches and pins can be affixed to the stole (be sure to use a towel between the iron and patch to avoid burning the material!).
You are encouraged to unwrap and iron your gown and stole; take care not to burn the fabric; using a towel between the iron and material is helpful.
A reminder that your tassel, pins, patches and cords should be worn/affixed to your yellow stole at graduation. Students cannot personalize their items with their names - this is keeping with the tradition of unity in our last gathering as a class.
California state law specifically protects students’ right to wear “traditional tribal regalia or recognized objects of religious or cultural significance as an adornment at school graduation ceremonies." (more specific information is here).
Senior Meeting!
Here are the three items that were given to all seniors who attended the meeting:
- Senior Letter - Class of 2022 - click here
- Senior Meeting Agenda - Class of 2022 - click here

"Graduate Check Out" Form
Graduation Rehearsal
During the Ceremony:
- students will be seated alphabetically with the start of the alphabet closer to the 50 yard line and the end of the alphabet close to the south end zone/stage. Your Zebra will know more specifically where they are sitting after rehearsal on Friday morning. (added on 5/12/22).
- families will receive 6 tickets for the bleachers and can get up to 2 additional tickets for seats on the field.
- students and guests are not expected to wear masks during graduation, but we will have masks available for those who feel more comfortable wearing one
- our school photographer, Debbie Brown, will take a picture of each graduate as they receive their diploma cover
- at the conclusion of the ceremony, graduates will exit the stadium. Students will be able to pick up their physical diploma right after the ceremony in the Pence Gym. We will leave the stadium open for a bit after the ceremony if families want to take pictures on the field. We encourage families to make a plan for where to meet up with your graduate after the ceremony (at the front of the gym and/or on the field)
- We would ask that families do not bring items that would block the view of other families (i.e. no umbrellas, balloon bouquets or pop up tents) will be allowed in the bleachers
