Good news...DEADLINE EXTENSION!  We have received notice that all orders MUST be completed by Sunday, January 24, 2021 to avoid an extra $10 handling charge on top of the $26.38 for the cap/gown/tassel unit.  Please make it a point to place your order by this time.

Due to the nature of the school year, we will not be having a large group senior class meeting to disseminate and discuss ordering of caps, gowns, tassels, etc.  The following items will contain the necessary information that you will need to place orders.  Please keep in mind that ALL orders are to be done through your family and Herff Jones.  NO money or orders will be taken at the high school.  At minimum, all graduating seniors are expected to order the cap/gown/tassel unit.  The cost for this will allow students to rent the usage of the gown and keep their cap and tassel.
