Cap & Gown Orders
All seniors must have purchased a cap & gown regardless of their fee status (free/reduced lunch) by December 2011 to avoid an additional late charge. The cap & gown price was included in the senior school fee ($60.00 + $50.00 for cap & gown = $110.00). If school fees are waived, price of cap & gown now currently is $60.00. Price will increase to $70.00 after Spring Break. Delivery of those paying late may be delayed until the day before graduation.
