Class of 2021
Cap, Gown and Tassels
These items are ordered through Jostens.
If you have access to a black cap and gown and/or tassel used by a former SHS student, you may use that. You do not have to buy these items. Tassels include the graduation year, and so it may be the one item you elect to purchase.
If you receive free or reduced lunch, and cannot afford to purchase a cap and gown, you may request to borrow one from high school. We have a limited supply of caps and gowns. Please contact Mrs. Dettwyler to inquire about borrowing a cap and gown. We will need your height so we make sure you borrow the appropriate length.
If you have a cap or gown you would like to donate to the high school, please drop it off at your convenience!
Graduation Date & Time
Commencement Ceremony for SHS Class of 2021 will be June 10, 2021 – Time TBD
