When walking across the stage, senior students are required to act with dignity and respect. This is a very distinguished occasion for all senior students. After all diplomas have been conferred, all graduates will stand for the benediction. Graduates will join Chief Crumpton in the Tiger Circle and proceed to the back of the arena. Once all graduates are in formation, they will sing the Alma Mater. GRADUATION PICTURES: Purchase of the pictures is optional. The photographer will be photographing every graduate two times: once while receiving the diploma and again when posed in front of a flag backdrop. To order online, log on to www.picmyphotos.com.
