Graduation Behavior Protocol

Each graduating senior deserves to have his or her name read and heard clearly without having to compete with disorder and distraction. We expect the following practices to be followed in order to ensure a respectful, orderly and safe graduation experience for all students:

  • Diploma covers will be handed to each graduate with pictures taken but actual diplomas will be released after a review of graduate behavior. Noisemakers, inflatable items, squirt guns, silly string, signs or other objects/behaviors that cause distractions, disruptions or safety risks will not be allowed.
  • No food or drink will be allowed in Holt Arena. Noisemakers, including air horns, are prohibited. Family and friends may cheer in support of their graduate as they cross the stage, but otherwise, are encouraged to be respectful of ALL graduates and take care not to disrupt graduation proceedings.
  • If the ceremony is continuously disrupted, it will be paused until a respectful atmosphere is restored.
  • Meetings with seniors will be held at all high schools to clearly communicate expectations and to answer any questions.
  • Letters will be mailed home to parents and guardians about graduation behavior expectations.
