Introduction

School for seniors does not officially end until the Commencement Exercises conclude on Monday, June 15.  The final days of our seniors’ secondary education will be busy, interesting, important, and energizing while final coursework is completed and preparations are made for life after high school. The importance of all of this suggests a need for summarizing vital responsibilities and activities.

Requirements for Participating in Commencement Exercises

Satisfactorily completing all Northshore School District and State of Washington graduation requirements and participating in the commencement rehearsal are prerequisites for participation in the Commencement Ceremony.  Additionally, students must clear all fines and obligations. A few days before the final day of classes, seniors’ teachers are charged with the responsibility of inspecting and assessing the damage to equipment, supplies, and/or books and adding those items to the fine list, if necessary. Please check at home and return all devices, device bags, chargers, and hotspots by Monday, June 8 and all textbooks, library books, uniforms, locks, cameras, photography and art supplies, miscellaneous equipment, and any other property that belong to the Northshore School District to the staff member who checked it out to the student, no later than Monday, June 8.

Commencement Expectations & Responsibilities

Student, parent, and guardian cooperation in making this year’s Commencement Ceremony a successful endeavor is expected and appreciated. The administration, faculty, and staff have given the Commencement Ceremony for the Class of 2026 considerable thought and planning. The wish for our seniors’ final appearance as a Woodinville High School Falcon is an event that will leave students, parents, guardians, grandparents, relatives, and friends proud.

Continuing the WHS tradition of excellence and pride, we are focused on making the ceremony a memorable and dignified event. We are asking that all seniors, parents, guardians, and guests join in this focus.  The ceremony itself is honorable and one of “pomp and circumstance”. It is the expectation of the Northshore School District that all students will follow school rules before, during, and after the Commencement Ceremony. Graduates will be expected to behave appropriately and with respect throughout the ceremony. Please assist us by making sure any items that may take away from the ceremony (e.g., silly string, firecrackers, beach balls, noisemakers, confetti, etc.) are not brought to the ceremony. Students, parents, and guardians will be monitored for these items, other inflatables, or anything on their person that could cause a disruption to the ceremony.

The moment when a student’s name is read is a milestone that will only happen once in a person’s lifetime – the culmination of 13 years of schooling. This moment is of significant importance to each graduate’s parents, guardians, and guests.  In an effort to provide a respectful moment for each of our graduates and their families, we are asking that you refrain from excessive celebrating when student names are called so everyone has the opportunity to hear their senior’s name and to be proud. The celebration portion of the ceremony will take place following the traditional “turning of the tassel” at the completion of the formal ceremony. Then let’s cheer in unity and support of our 2026 graduates with Falcon spirit and pride!

Policy on Substance Use

Any student who is found to have been using alcohol or other drugs at senior end-of-the-year events, extra-curricular activities, or on graduation day will not be allowed to participate in the events and/or the Commencement Ceremony.

Campus Expectations

School continues for underclassmen June 12-20. Seniors are reminded not to return to the WHS campus except for previously scheduled activities or to be working with designated instructors.

Class of 2026 Website & Senior Class Timeline

Please continue to check the Class of 2026 website and Senior Class Timeline for updates and additional details. The website can be found under Activities from the WHS homepage: https://woodinville.nsd.org/counseling/class-of-2026.

Senior Awards Night & Cap and Gown, Stole, Tickets, and Yearbook Distribution

All seniors and their families are cordially invited to attend Senior Awards Night on Thursday, June 4, 6:30 p.m. in the WHS Main Gym.

Seniors must arrive at the Aux Gym by 6:00 p.m. to line up.

Senior Awards Night is a way to honor, recognize, and provide a social environment for the entire graduating class and their loved ones. The excitement of seeing future graduates acknowledged by faculty, picking up their cap and gown, smiling as they sign yearbooks, and making memories with one another is a highlight. As some seniors and parents/guardians wonder, seniors typically dress well for this event (dress shirts, slacks, dresses, etc.).

At approximately 8:15 p.m., after the presentation of the yearbook to the class and the ceremony concludes, the initial distribution of caps, gowns, 2026 class stoles*, tickets, and yearbooks takes place. Refreshments are also available at that time compliments of the WHS PTSA and the Class of 2027.

For the cap, gown, stole, and ticket distribution:

Seniors ONLY go to the Commons to pick up the items.

• Items are not available for pick up prior to the end of the Senior Awards Night Ceremony on Thursday, June 4.

If a senior is unable to be at Senior Awards Night or is unavailable to attend the distribution event that starts after the ceremony ends:

• A friend or relative can pick up the cap, gown, stole, and 5 complimentary tickets; however, a signed note from the parent/guardian must be provided to Jostens/WHS at the point of pick up. The individual picking up the items will be required to provide the note and sign for the items, relieving Jostens and WHS of responsibility if they should become lost or misplaced.
• Caps, gowns, 2026 class stoles*, and the 5 complimentary tickets not picked up after the Senior Awards Night Ceremony concludes will be available at the Cashier’s/Main Office before school, during lunches, and after school Friday, June 5 or later.

Yearbook Distribution

1. All students must have a photo ID to pick up the yearbook (any photo ID works, including on the student's phone).
2. Only the student or parent/guardian of the student may pick up the yearbook. No notes, no emails, no phone calls will be accepted. If there is some sort of emergency, contact an administrator.
3. Yearbooks for seniors who do not pick them up the evening of Thursday, June 4 will be available for pick up on Wednesday, June 10 during Beach Day Distribution.
4. Fines/Fees must be cleared or paid and the Senior Year-End Activity and High School and Beyond Plan must be complete for seniors to pick up their yearbooks.
5. NOTE: If there are extra yearbooks available from the publisher, seniors who didn’t purchase a yearbook can enter the Yearbook Lottery May 11-20. Seniors who enter the yearbook lottery will be randomly selected to have the opportunity to purchase a yearbook ($60.00). Learn more: https://woodinville.nsd.org/activities/yearbook-2025-26.

*Summa Cum Laude stoles will be distributed at Pop Keeney Stadium on Commencement Day.

• High heels are NOT allowed on the field, but wedge sandals and flat shoes are permitted. 

Care of gown:

• As soon as possible, place the gown on a hanger and allow it to hang until Commencement day (this permits wrinkles to straighten out and should eliminate the need for pressing).

Seniors do not have access or time to retrieve the hanger or other personal items after the ceremony concludes.
