Senior year is often an extremely busy time with schoolwork, activities, and special events. It’s important to keep grades up to a C or higher and to continue to keep track of deadlines. It’s important to know when the cap and gown order is due and what forms you have to complete because it’s a requirement to order your cap and gown in order to participate in graduation. Seniors should have a calendar so they know which lists due dates for cap and gown orders, or they are also available in the office.

Seniors are also allowed to keep their tassels as a souvenir, and if they would like to pay extra for a “keeper gown,” the graduate can wear it for the ceremony and keep it as a souvenir afterwards.  Caps and gowns symbolize superiority and intelligence and can serve as a great reminder of your accomplishments.

The cost for cap and gown will vary if you order add-ons, but begins around $25. Typical graduation expenses are the cap and gown, all costs are associated with hosting a graduation party, and graduation fees charged by some schools. Students can also rent a cap and gown from San Pasqual. Students with questions should see their guidance counselor.
