    Participating Appropriately as Audience Members

    Audience behavior should reflect the school’s desire to honor all graduates:

    • Noisemakers, beach balls, balloons, banners, and other items that could be disruptive are not allowed inside the auditorium.
    • We ask that guests remain seated during the entire graduation ceremony until all graduates have recessed.  
    • Cameras must be used from a seat.  In order to maintain clear walkways, no tripods will be allowed.  
    • We ask that guests hold applause, cheers, and shout-outs until after all graduates have been recognized.  

    Congratulations again to all of our graduates! As students, you have worked extremely hard, and we are proud of you.
