IMPORTANT CHANGE ABOUT THE PICNIC THIS YEAR--READ BELOW!!!
"The Senior Picnic Committee tried diligently to get an exception from Gwinnett County Water Department for the picnic but were denied due to the Level 4 drought that Georgia is under currently. Students may bring water balloons from home to play with, but there will be no water guns allowed this year. Thank you for your understanding and compliance with this change in picnic activities."

Commonly Asked Questions......Here are the answers!!!

Why does it cost $95.00 to order my cap and gown?
The cost of the cap and gown is actually only $36.00. The rest of the money goes to the senior fund to pay for the diplomas, chairs, stage, flowers, sound system, senior picnic, senior hallway decorating for Homecoming, mailing and gathering of senior packets, etc....

Can I just wear my brother/cousin/friend's gown?
No. We ask that everyone buy a new gown for a couple reasons. First, due to the question above, we collect senior dues through the cost of the cap and gown. Second, the gowns are a different color of royal each year due to dye lots. Our gowns will be dyed all at one time so that the colors are the same. The royals are different each year.

What happens if I order my cap and gown now and I don't graduate?
You may apply for a refund.

Is an announcement the same as an invitation to graduation?
No! You send announcements to anyone you want. Typically, they send you a graduation gift. You are announcing that you are graduating. Each senior will receive 6 tickets to invite immediate family members to graduation. You will order your tickets in the spring.
