Graduation Information

As stated in our student handbook, only school-issued regalia may be worn at graduation. For those earning cords/stoles, these will be issued by the school directly. No other regalia may be worn and caps may not be decorated. This maintains the integrity of the graduation ceremony.

Students must attend all graduation practices. They must be in good standing and off of the CHS Unclear List (not owing money/fees to any department of CHS). Students must dress appropriately based on the information communicated to students and parents addressing graduation attire. Caps and gowns may not be decorated and must only include school-issued regalia. Students must pay the graduation fee which covers the cost of the diploma, diploma cover, and cap/gown. Students must complete all required courses by the last day of school for Seniors (Friday before Graduation).

*Note, seniors may lose the privilege of walking in graduation for serious discipline offenses.
