The graduation ceremony is set for Wednesday, May 12, at 7:00 p.m. at the SCHS stadium, and we are excited to celebrate with our seniors and families!

[Updates are shaded RED]

• Jostens returned to SCHS on Thursday, April 8, to distribute cap and gowns. If you did not pick yours up, they will be available in the front office for pickup. Office hours are 7:45AM-3:45PM M-F. Parents are also welcome to pick up caps and gowns.
• Jostens will return on April 28 for students to purchase cords/stoles ($10/$15 each) for those who have/will earn Graduate with Distinction, Graduate with Honors, and/or Work Ethic Distinction. Jostens will be in the front lobby during all lunches (10:40AM-12:40PM). If you have any questions regarding these awards, please email your counselor directly. DL students and/or parents are welcome to come purchase these, as this will be the ONLY time Jostens comes for this purpose.
  • For information on club/organization cords/pins, please contact the group's faculty sponsor directly. 
• If you believe that you will have earned Perfect Attendance for grades K-12 or grades 9-12, please email Mr. Denton (dentonr@rcschools.net) directly.
• As the school has previously announced, seniors may decorate their graduation caps, provided that only the top of the cap is decorated, nothing is hanging off the sides, and that it is school-appropriate.

Other Important Details:

• Each graduate will receive numbered tickets for guests. Tickets cannot be replaced if lost. No entry will be allowed without a ticket. As we get closer to the ceremony and determine the capacity limits, we will release specific information about the number and distribution, of tickets.
• Family members may be seated in the stands (home and away) or on provided seats on the track. You may sit with your family but must socially distance from other families. Graduates will be seated on the field facing the scoreboard.
• Noise makers, balloons, and signs are not permitted in the stadium.
• Once the ceremony concludes, there should be no loitering on campus.
• Handicap parking and seating will be available. Signs will be posted when you arrive on campus.
• The ceremony will be live-streamed and recorded.
• Gates will open at 5:30 p.m.

For the safety of our graduates, staff, and guests, the following guidelines should be observed:

• If you are feeling unwell or have a fever, do not enter the stadium.
• Masks and distancing are required.
• Entry by ticket only. The number of tickets per student will be communicated later.

Please consider carpooling with family to promote social distancing, and plan to meet at another location off-campus for pictures, etc.

• Graduates should arrive and be seated at the football field by 6:15 p.m. (Graduates should return to the seat labeled with their name). Staff will be on hand to assist before and during the ceremony.
• Dress code for graduates: Dress pants and collared shirt for gentlemen (polo shirts are permitted). Dress, skirt, or dress pants for ladies. No jeans. Comfortable shoes (tennis shoes are allowed). 
• You may throw away the white collars that were in the caps and gowns bags. We do NOT use them.
• Do NOT try to iron the gowns - they will melt. You may wish to hang your gown in a humid bathroom to let the wrinkles fall out.
