The first four pews on both sides are reserved for the graduates.  The boys should bring their jackets on a hanger when they come into school.  The boys must wear dress pants, dress shoes, a plain white button up shirt, and the red tie that comes with the cap and gown.  The girls should be in an appropriate white or light colored dress and white dress shoes.  NO sneakers for boys or girls.  Girls may get their nails done.  No highlights or heavy make-up.  No decorating of the cap is allowed.  No corsages or boutonnieres.  After the mass please take their caps and gowns.  The students come back to school to have breakfast and receive their yearbooks.  They will watch their video yearbook together.  You can pick them up at 11/11:15 at the front doors!

GRADUATION CEREMONY - Please drop the students off dressed in cap and gown at school at 1:30 - no later!  You can then go to Church to find your seats.  The first SIX  pews on both sides are reserved for graduates and faculty.  The boys do NOT need their jackets this time.  There are no personal photographers or personal videoing from the aisles allowed.   Please be respectful and no loud hooting, hollering, yelling out names, etc. during the graduation.  It is a dignified ceremony and takes place inside a church.  The ceremony itself will last about an hour to an hour and a half.  There are no tickets for the mass or ceremony or a limit to whom you can invite.  Typically the graduates take pictures on the front steps of the Church after the ceremony.
