Diploma Order Form

In preparation for Graduation on Thursday, May 16, 2024, the school must order the Diplomas for the graduating members of the Class of 2024. Please click here to complete your student(s) Diploma Order Form. Forms must be completed by Friday, March 1, 2024.

The form also contains an acknowledgment of the Parent Tribute and

Graduation Dress Codes that are also detailed below in this email. Students wear the same outfit to both the Parent Tribute (May 3, 2024) and Graduation (May 16, 2024). Please review the dress codes below with your student(s).

The Parent Tribute is a long standing St. Cecilia Catholic School tradition where the graduates celebrate their parents by paying tribute to them in short speeches in the Auditorium. More information about the end of year and May Graduation events will be communicated soon. You are receiving the Diploma Order and Dress Code now to allow for enough time to order

diplomas, and parents have appropriate time to purchase outfits for these events in May.

Girls Dress Code

• Girls may wear a dress no more than 2" above the back of the knee crease that is suitable for Church; white or pastel colors are worn.

• Please be modest - strapless, backless, low-cut, off-the-shoulder, or dresses with spaghetti straps are not appropriate.

Boys Dress Code

• Boys are required to wear a coat and tie.
• Unconstructed suits, wild colors, athletic shoes, or jeans are not appropriate.
• Dress shoes and socks are required.

Please Note: Any student who arrives for Graduation in an inappropriate outfit will not participate in the Graduation ceremony or attend the Graduation Dance.

8th Grade Individual Photos

On Wednesday, February 21st the 8th Grade students will have a professional photographer (Jeremy Kennedy) come to school to take individual headshot photos. The photos will be done during PE and Lunch / Recess time.

The school will use these photos for the social media tributes for each student that we post in late April and early May. Additionally, parents will have an opportunity to purchase a copy of these photos as well. Attire for the photos will be Mass Attire since Wednesday is a Mass Day. The boys will not wear their ties in the photos and girls will not wear their Mass sweaters.

In March, after the high schools send out their acceptances to our students, we will ask parents to fill out a form for the information for the social media tributes we will post in late April and May.

• Please click here to see an example from last year of the girls photo / post and here for the boys photo / post.
• In preparation for this, please have your 8th grader think of their favorite St. Cecilia memory, and please find the baby picture you would like to submit as part of the tribute photo.
