Friday, June 4 at 6:00 p.m. – Harper Creek Stadium

Seniors should plan to report at 5:15 p.m. to the middle school gym. 

All graduates should park in the parking lot located between the middle school and administration building. 

No tickets are required, unless the seating/viewing limitations require it.   

In case of inclement weather, Commencement will be held in the high school gym or auditorium, and graduates will report to the high school cafeteria.  Graduates may be required to reduce their number of guests in the event the ceremony moves indoors.  

Only those seniors who have successfully completed all graduation requirements and are in good standing will be permitted to participate in the Commencement Ceremony.    

The Commencement Ceremony is like any other extracurricular school activity in which school policies apply.  Those wishing to participate in the graduation/commencement activities and ceremony are required and expected to adhere to all rules and policies of the school. This is a special time of the year and we don't want to have to exclude anyone from the ceremony for disciplinary reasons.

Diplomas will be available to graduating seniors at the rehearsal on June 2. 

Seniors who did not meet graduation requirements will not participate in the Commencement Ceremony, but they will receive their diplomas once verification of the requirements have been received by Harper Creek High School. 

Dress/Attire/Clothing Expectations:

Due to the formality of the occasion, each graduate should follow the clothing guidelines listed below:

                  White Gowns:      *Light colored dress or dress slacks  *Light colored shoes                 

                                                 *Flowers and patterns should not be worn under the robes

                                                 *Suit coats should not be worn under the robe

                     Blue Gowns:      *Light colored dress shirt/tie *Dark pants *Dark shoes 

                                                  *Suit coats should not be worn under the robe

Graduates may decorate their caps appropriately.  It is encouraged to display your post-high school plans (college, career, military) or an inspiring message.  No profanity, innuendos, or political speech is appropriate. 

We hope that you recognize the need for having clothing guidelines for such a formal celebration.  The graduation ceremony is a privilege and graduates run the risk of not walking with their class if appropriate attire is not followed. 

If you are unable to meet these guidelines, please contact Ms. Howard, High School Principal at 269-441-8412
