Posted 4-30-08: Important Senior Information Caps and gowns will be distributed at the first graduation rehearsal;
all honor cords, etc will also be distributed at this time (May
28th in the WHS auditorium). If you have a problem with a cap or gown, you need to contact Herff Jones directly at 954-693-0006. Graduates: Please make sure all obligations are cleared prior to the graduation rehearsals. See Ms. Garzon in the Main Office to clear your obligations. 2008 graduation ceremony The 2008 graduation ceremony
will start promptly at 2:00 pm on June the 1st, at Nova Southeastern
University, in the Convocation
Center. Graduates must report to the center NO LATER than 1:00
pm to check in. All graduates should be dressed and ready at
1:00 pm. Doors will open for parents and guests at 1:00 pm. No
one will be admitted, regardless of age, without a ticket. Once
guests are admitted into the arena, they are not permitted to
leave; this is a NSU policy. Graduate attire: Male graduates are required to wear dark dress
slacks, a light button-down shirt with a tie, and dark dress
shoes (no sneakers or flip flops). Female graduates are required
to wear dark slacks with a light top, or a dark colored dress
with dark dress shoes (no sneakers or flip flops). These are
worn under the graduates' gowns. Female graduates need to be
aware of the gown length when considering a dress, as dresses
that hang below the gown length (mid-calf) look awkward. Parents: NSU does not permit the use of tripods in the arena. There will be a professional photographer on hand to ensure your graduates' diploma receipt is captured up close. Requirements: To be eligible to participate in the ceremony: Extra tickets: Students will receive 5 tickets each. Each student can then apply for an additional 2 tickets. To apply for the additional tickets, students must submit a written request to Mrs. Kefford's office no later than May 16th. These tickets will be issued to students at the final rehearsal (May 30th). We are very sorry but due to seating limitations at NSU, we are unable to grant requests for more than 2 additional tickets. Posted 4-12-08: Senior Prom Information Tickets will be $75 each. Each senior will be allowed to purchase a maximum of two tickets and the names of both attendees will need to be given at the time of purchase. The dates of our seniors do not have to be Western High School students, but everyone will be required to produce identification to be admitted into Prom. Tickets cannot be reassigned to other students. Tickets will go on sale on Monday, April 14th and a handout with all the Prom details, dress and behavior rules, will be distributed to students purchasing tickets. Seniors will need to be sure that they have a 2.0 GPA and all obligations are cleared before they will be allowed to purchase a ticket. Following the end of tickets sales, the seniors will need to
KEEP THEIR RECEIPTS and come to see me, either before or after
school only, to pick up their tickets. No receipt - no tickets.
