Dear Class of 2026 and families,
Thank you for a great last week of school. We are looking forward to seeing everyone at Prom tonight.
Students who did not get their cap and gown yesterday can pick their cap and gown up at rehearsal on Friday, May 29th. If you have not hung up your gown yet, please do so as soon as possible to remove any wrinkles. To remove wrinkles, you may choose to press the gown with a cool iron, use a steamer or hang the gown in a steamy room such as the bathroom during a shower. Please keep in mind: Hot dryers or irons will melt your gown’s synthetic fibers!
Please review the important reminders below regarding Prom, Honors Night, and Commencement. Enjoy the long weekend. We look forward to celebrating the Class of 2026 next week!
