Attendance
—Students who are habitually truant or have chronic tardiness, equivalent to ten percent (10%) of the school year, will not be permitted to walk in the graduation ceremony. This is the equivalent of 72 hours. If students reach 72 hours of absences, they will be placed on a contract.
—Tardies play a factor in meeting course attendance requirements.
—If you are put on an attendance contract, you run the risk of not being able to attend PROM if you miss more than 5 days after being placed on the contract.
Student Fees
—All outstanding fees are due immediately. Payments can be made by clicking HERE or with check or cash at the high school.
—Students who owe fees will not be permitted to participate in the graduation ceremony and will not receive their diploma. This includes any textbooks that have not been turned in.
—The fee payment deadline is May 14, 2026.
—A fee statement will be mailed to your home by mid-October.
—Contact Melissa Robey at [email protected] with any fee questions.

Diploma Information
—Diplomas are legal documents and must contain the student’s full legal name as it appears on their birth certificate. Deviations from students’ legal names are not permitted.
—Each graduate is able to select a staff member to hand out their diploma at graduation.
