We are looking forward to an enjoyable, meaningful ceremony for
students and parents, relatives, staff, and friends. Participation is a
privilege not a right. Students who do not go through the ceremony will
still earn a diploma, provided they have met all requirements.
Graduation Behavior Policy
![Graduation Behavior Policy icon]()
Graduation Behavior Policytitle
Alcohol, tobacco, or drugs will not be permitted for anyone. It is against the law to be in possession of alcohol or drugs on school grounds and this will be enforced. Anyone who has been determined to have been drinking, or in the possession of alcohol or drugs, will not be allowed to go through the ceremony. The same will hold true for fireworks and other explosives as well as other disruptive actions which would detract from the dignity of the graduation ceremony. Please talk with your son or daughter to assure appropriate behavior. This will save embarrassment for your family.
Measures will be taken to ensure that nothing inappropriate is brought into the ceremony field. In addition, if there is any behavior during graduation which is inappropriate and/or dangerous, your son/daughter will be removed from the ceremony at that time.
Girls are required to wear a skirt, dress, or nice slacks. They will need to wear appropriate shoes and accessories. Boys must wear slacks and a shirt and tie, as well as dress shoes and socks. Students will not be allowed to participate with improper dress and are asked to carry their caps and gowns to be put on just prior to the ceremony.
Graduates are not to mark, stamp, stain or otherwise letter or decorate caps or gowns prior to the ceremony. Anyone wearing a cap or gown with such markings on it will not be allowed to participate in the ceremony. Gowns must be returned at the end of the ceremony prior to picking up diplomas. Sashes, cords and other senior recognition awards must be pre-approved or students will not be allowed to wear them at the ceremony.
Students will not be allowed to carry cell phones, flowers, leis, purses, cameras, etc. Such items should not be brought into the Commons. Any items that cannot be taken to the stadium will be held for students until after the ceremony. Students who attempt to bring items into the ceremony will have those items confiscated and returned at the end of the evening.
Please remember that all graduates need to pick up their diplomas or certificates of completion in the cafeteria immediately following the ceremony. Pioneer High School does not mail them to you.
Students who owe monies for outstanding debts, such as lost textbooks, replacement PE locks will NOT receive their diploma or certificate of completion and all transcripts will not be released for graduation verification for colleges, employers and military service. All outstanding debts must be cleared in order to release both diplomas and transcripts.
Students will be expected to conduct themselves during these practices in an appropriate manner, or risk being excluded from the graduation ceremony.

Graduation and Commencement Audience Expectations

Graduation and Commencement Audience Expectationstitle
Alcohol, tobacco, or drugs will not be permitted for anyone including
audience members. It is against the law to be in possession of alcohol
or drugs on school grounds and this will be enforced. Anyone who has
been determined to have been drinking, or in the possession of alcohol
or drugs, will not be allowed to attend the ceremony. The same will
hold true for fireworks and other explosives as well as other disruptive
actions which would detract from the dignity of the graduation
ceremony. Please talk with your son or daughter to assure appropriate
behavior. This will save embarrassment for your family.
We respectfully request that large balloons and umbrellas be left at home, as they can obscure the vision of other members of the audience. If your family are insistent that they must have large balloons to recognize your student, please find a seat at the top of the stands in respect of other members of the audience.
We request that spectators remain in their seats during the ceremony. Any pictures you wish to take must be taken from the stands. A professional photographer will take pictures, and you may make arrangements to purchase your student’s photo.
We also request that family and friends stay off of the football field until the end of the senior song at the conclusion of the ceremony. PHS faculty will surround the graduating students to allow them to enjoy one final moment as a class. When the senior song is finished, friends and family will be allowed to find and congratulate their child.
We are looking forward to an enjoyable ceremony. However, we feel that it is important that parents and graduates be aware of our expectations and the consequences. We appreciate your cooperation in working with us to ensure that graduation is a meaningful and worthwhile ceremony for all concerned.
