Graduation Requirements
Posted on February 22, 2010 How long has the 5 credits needed minimum for your senior year been in effect? And why had it changed... just curious
Posted on May 12, 2011 How many credits are needed to graduate? 26? (This is just total number not by class requirement i.e. 3 math or 4 history) Thanks!
22.
Posted on December 21, 2010 Is it required for a senior to attend their own graduation?
Posted on October 1, 2008 How many credits are required to graduate?
A minimum of 22. Specific diploma requirements, including required subjects and tests are explained in the Program of Study. Please talk to a school counselor if you have further questions.
Posted on May 6, 2008 If a senior student receives just 5 credits this year (including all the required classes), and it amounts to exactly 22 credits, can he/she still graduate without the 5.5 credits required for full time status?
Any question regarding graduation should be directed to the school counselor who will review the student's transcript to accurately answer the question.
Posted on April 8, 2008 Is it true that if a senior fails 2 classes they are not allowed to graduate even if they have the required number of credits and all required classes completed?
No, this is not true. If a senior successfully satisfies the required courses for a diploma, s/he will graduate. Cap, gown, tassels, medals, recognitions
Posted on July 27, 2011
If someone did not attend graduation, but did pass all of there
classes, where do they turn in there cap and gown and pick up
there diploma? This may be done at the North Main Office of HSE.
Posted on June 1, 2010 My son just told me that he needed $20 for his graduation cap and gown!! What???!! I'm not too happy that I have to pay for something that he will obviously have to return. Why is this fee being imposed this year??!!! ARE YOU KIDDING??
Posted on May 27, 2008 Can you explain what the different tassels are for graduates?
The gold tassel is for having a cumulative average of 85% or higher for four years, all graduates get the green and white tassel. Some graduates are also given cords... NHS is gold, Tri-M (National Music Honor Honor Society) is pink.
Posted on July 31, 2008 What did the medals signify at graduation/what did the students who wore medals achieve?
Those medals are recognition of students who have achieved a cumulative high school grade point average of 95 or higher.
Posted on April 8, 2008 When do seniors order their cap and gowns and are they allowed to keep their tassels?
Orders for cap and gown take place in the middle of the senior year. Students are allowed to keep their tassel.
Posted on April 8, 2008 What if seniors want to buy a Cap and Gown? How would we go about doing that?
Cap and gowns are rentals. They may contact Marlene at Herf Jones, the company that supplies the caps and gowns, should they have questions regarding a purchase.
Posted on April 8, 2008 Are seniors required to pay a fee for rental of cap and gown? Are any provisions made for those students where paying the rental fee for the cap and gown poses a financial burden?
Yes, there is a fee for rental of the cap and gown. If the class assistant principal is made aware of the person in need of assistance he can work with the company supplying the caps and gowns. They have always provided extras in situations such as this.
Posted on July 15, 2008 What do I do if I did not attend graduation and still have my cap and gown? Where do I need to return it? How/when will I receive my high school diploma?
Return your cap and gown to the North Office in HSE. If all obligations to the school have been met, you will receive your diploma.
Posted on November 4, 2009 Is there any special recognition to seniors that have enlisted into the Armed Forces?
Posted on December 10, 2009 Can seniors who are not in NHS and still maintain a 90+ average for senior year were the yellow cords for graduation?
Posted on September 25, 2008 According to the parent portal -- to get a "95" on a report card requires a grade a 94.500. Does this mean if you have a 94.500(+) average, you get to wear a medal at graduation?
Report card grades and cumulative averages are not the same. They normally don’t round up or down a cumulative career average for graduation recognition (gold cords or medals) or NHS induction. Graduation facilities, seating, tickets
Posted on June 13, 2011 How many people are expected at the graduation?? thank you
Typically, the amphitheatre, both upstairs and downstairs is at capacity, and a good portion of the lawn near the theatre is used as overflow. The inside seating capacity is about 5200, so that number is probably pretty close to what we expect.
Posted on May 13, 2009 Please advise as to the date for the High School graduation rehearsal . Where is the rehearsal conducted ? Shen ? SPAC?
There is no rehearsal. Administrators will review in English classes the expectations and instructions for graduation.
Posted on April 8, 2008 How is guest seating for the high school graduation ceremony handled? Are graduates given a certain number of tickets for their family?
There are no reserved seats for parents and guests for graduation. Seating is first-come, first-serve basis. Family's with handicapped relatives may contact the principal's office for a parking permit. While seating inside is limited, there is unlimited seating outside.
Posted on March 18, 2008 Do you need tickets to HS graduation? If yes, is there a limit of tickets per family?
There are no tickets needed for graduation.
Posted on June 17, 2008 My child is graduating. Can you tell me what the facilities at SPAC are like for families coming to the ceremony (i.e. will I need to bring lawn chairs or is there adequate seating, is the seating covered or out in the sun)?
There is seating for approximately 5,000 inside out of the sun. There is also seating on the lawn (in the sun).
Posted on June 18, 2010 I have a child graduating this year from High School and am concerned about being able to get to SPAC and finding seats without having a special day start out being stressed out from just getting there. I know the ceremony starts at 1:30 and all I hear is that we should get there "early" to get seats and parking. How early are we talking about? I also heard another school has their graduation in the morning. What is the earliest time Shen parents can come and get seats? Thanks
Posted on May 5, 2009 Do you know approximately how long graduation lasts? Thank you for your time.
Approximately 2 1/2 hours.
Posted on June 23, 2010 Will the way graduation is done be changed at all if it rains, or should everyone just bring umbrellas and follow what the kids were told in their English classes?
Dress code, rules of conduct for graduates
Posted on June 23, 2010 Why are beach balls and things like that not allowed at graduation? I understand that noise makers are disruptive, but i do not see how a beach ball will decrease the "dignity" of the event. Graduation is a celebration and everyone is excited. The ceremony is long enough, why not just let us, the people who are graduating aka guests of honor, have a little fun. You only graduate high school once, why not have a little fun?
Posted on May 20, 2008 What is the dress code for boys for graduation? Can they wear shorts?
Dress for graduation should be appropriate for the formality of the event. Shorts are not a preferred choice of dress.
Posted on May 13, 2008 Do girls have to wear dresses or skirts at graduation or can they wear dress pants?
Graduation is an important event. Please dress nicely and appropriately. Dress pants are acceptable.
Posted on June 5, 2008 A packet was mailed home regarding graduation policies which prohibited bubbles, beach balls, fun, etc. I understand that these practices are inappropriate at certain times during the ceremony, however I also believe that graduation should be a celebration of the seniors' accomplishments over the last four years. Why are such practices banned?
The administration wishes to create an atmosphere that is conducive to such an important milestone in the life of the students, as well as their families. Bubbles, beach balls, toys, air horns and games may be a part of a graduation party, but they are not allowed at the graduation ceremony as it takes away from the happy, yet serious and dignified tone of this ceremony.
Photographer at Graduation
Posted on June 22, 2011 Will there be videos and pictures available for the seniors to purchase from this years ceremony
Video of the 2011 graduation is available for purchase. Click here for the order form.
Posted on July 27, 2011 Were there professional photos taken at graduation? If so where can we order them?
Lauren Studios took pictures at graduation.
Posted on June 4, 2008 Is there a professional photographer at the graduation ceremony getting pictures of students receiving their diplomas on stage?
Yes. The school does have a professional photographers at graduation taking photos of students receiving their diploma.
January graduates
Posted on October 20, 2008 If you are in eleventh grade, and have the required number of credits. Are you allowed to graduate early?
Early graduation is possible but it important to speak with your school counselor. The number of credits is only one factor in receiving a diploma.
Posted on September 18, 2009 If Shen Seniors who are graduating in January officially graduated at that point, are they going to have a miniature ceremony? Because technically, they'd be officially graduated and unable to attend the later one in June.
Posted on December 10, 2009 I am graduating in January and do not plan to walk across the stage in June. When will I receive my diploma?
