Please do not whistle, yell, or do anything that may interfere with the reading of names during the ceremony. Make sure that when you show pride in your graduate, you aren’t drowning out the recognition of another.

Students who violate these rules will not receive a diploma and will have to petition the school board to receive it and may be removed from the ceremony.
