Only those seniors who have successfully completed all graduation requirements and are in good standing will be permitted to participate in the Commencement Ceremony.    

The Commencement Ceremony is like any other extracurricular school activity in which school policies apply.  Those wishing to participate in the graduation/commencement activities and ceremony are required and expected to adhere to all rules and policies of the school. This is a special time of the year and we don't want to have to exclude anyone from the ceremony for disciplinary reasons.

Diplomas will be available to graduating seniors at the rehearsal on June 2. 

Seniors who did not meet graduation requirements will not participate in the Commencement Ceremony, but they will receive their diplomas once verification of the requirements have been received by Harper Creek High School. 

Dress/Attire/Clothing Expectations:

Due to the formality of the occasion, each graduate should follow the clothing guidelines listed below:

                  White Gowns:      *Light colored dress or dress slacks  *Light colored shoes                 

                                                 *Flowers and patterns should not be worn under the robes
