Class of 2026 Information

Senior Exit Survey

ALL Seniors must complete the Exit Survey

Cap, Gown, & Diploma Cover: 

You must have a properly fitting cap and gown and have purchased a diploma cover.  Diploma covers are included in the cap and gown purchase if you bought it from Jostens this year, and you will receive it during the graduation ceremony. If you are borrowing a cap and gown, it is a separate transaction. If you have questions regarding caps/gown purchases, email Jostens at mark.manuel.office@jostens.com.

Jostens representatives are coming on April 9 to deliver pre-ordered cap and gown packages. If you have ordered, but not paid yet, you may pay Jostens with cash on that day.

You are required to dress according to the graduation dress code on the protocol (dress slacks, button-down shirts, and ties, or a dress/skirt and blouse – proper dress shoes.

Caps cannot be decorated, and all cords and stoles must be provided by NHHS for the graduation ceremony
