Jostens All Things Graduation
Beginning & End
To begin with, the end in mind means to start with a clear understanding of one's destination. It means to know where you're going so that you better understand where you are now and that the steps, actions, and decisions you take are always in the right direction.
Therefore, starting with the end in mind: Order your Cap and Gown now for Graduation!

Tutoring Starts the Week of September 12, 2022
What's the difference between a completer and a Graduate?
What it means:
High School Diploma
A student has met ALL the requirements for graduation.
High School Completer
A student has completed high school courses but didn’t meet ALL the requirements for graduation.
Per Senate Bill 149/463 Requirements. You’re required to attend tutoring throughout the year until you test and passed the E.O.C. (End of Course Exams).
The tutoring Schedule is:

Please note tutoring is required, for any student needing to take an E.O.C. in the corresponding subject area.
