Cap & Gown Packages
Seniors ordered their cap and gown packages in December. The vendor will distribute packages on May 5th during lunch periods. The cost of the packages is $40, and students should be prepared to pay with cash, Venmo or CashApp at the time of pickup.
Graduation Adornment
Any senior who would like to do any type of adornment to their cap and/or gown will need to complete and Adornment Form, which can be picked up in Student Services. The Adornment Form must be approved before decorating begins on the actual cap and/or gown.
Vote for Staff Name Readers
Seniors should check their email for a link to nominate staff members to be name readers.
Preferred Name and Phonetic Spelling
Students have the option to have a preferred name printed in the graduation program and announced at the ceremony as they walk across the stage. Even if a student does not have a preferred name, we ask that they still complete the form (in their email) with the name they would like announced at graduation. This will help ensure the name reader announces each name correctly.
Grad Walks
Any senior interested in participating in the graduation walks at their former Elementary and/or Middle School must complete the Grad Walks form that was emailed to them. Dates and times of the walks are listed in the form.

Senior Graduation Pictures
Ambrosius Studios will be at graduation taking photos of seniors as they receive their diplomas. Orders for photos can be placed online. Once on the website click the "Order Online" tab and then click "Events." The code for ordering is WHSGRAD2026. Finished orders will be mailed to your home in 3-4 weeks after graduation.
The deadline to order is May 23, 2026.
