Senior Recognition and Commencement Attire and BehaviorGraduation ceremonies are provided for those who wish to participate. They are dignified occasions, and we are confident that all graduates will dress and act appropriately. Graduates who do not meet the dress requirements will not be permitted to participate in the ceremonies. Please follow these dress guidelines:Boys: Dark dress pants (no jeans), collared shirt, tie, dress shoes, and dark socks (no athletic shoes, boots, or sandals). Girls: Knee/calf-length dress, or skirt/dress slacks and a blouse, dress shoes (no athletic shoes or boots); no corsages are to be worn on gowns. Purses should be left with parents or at home. Gowns & Stoles – Please steam or press gowns with a cool iron. They are very wrinkled when you take them out of the packaging. Caps – Caps should be worn flat on the head (bobby-pinned if necessary). No decor is allowed on the cap. Behavior Prior to GraduationWe want to remind our seniors of the importance of making good choices both in and out of school. It is important to keep in mind that any senior who violates FHN/District policies (i.e., use, possession, or sale of drugs or alcohol at any event leading up to commencement), or engages in any type of vandalism or prank at FHN, may impact their ability to participate in graduation ceremonies. Students on school grounds (other than during scheduled supervised activities) may also be subject to legal action. It is important that families and the school work together to supervise student activities leading up to graduation. It is our hope that students do not do anything to jeopardize their opportunity to be a part of all of the important and meaningful activities! We are so excited to celebrate this wonderful time with you and your family. High School Graduation is such a special time, and we look forward to the many fun events ahead!
