Senior Awards Night & Cap, Gown, Ticket, & Yearbook Distribution - Thurs, June 4

Thursday, June 4

Seniors report to the Aux Gym at 6:00 p.m.
Ceremony begins at 6:30 p.m. in the WHS Main Gym

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

Senior Awards Night is a way to recognize, honor, 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.)

Thurs, June 4 – Initial Cap/Gown/Ticket & Yearbook Distribution: After the yearbook has been presented to the class and upon the conclusion of the Senior Awards Night Ceremony (at approximately 8:00 p.m.), refreshments are available, and seniors will head to the Commons to pick up caps, gowns, and/or their yearbooks.* 

Additionally, seniors pick up 5 complimentary Commencement Ceremony tickets in the Commons while picking up their caps/gowns. (Graduating seniors do not need a ticket.)

  • Additional Commencement Ceremony tickets may be purchased at the Cashier’s and Main Office for $10 after the ceremony concludes.
  • Commencement tickets will also be available for $10 each at the Cashier's and Main Office:
    • Friday, June 5 through Friday, June 12, 7:50 a.m. – 3:50 p.m.
    • Monday, June 15, 7:50 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. (Early office closure due to 11:00 a.m. dismissal.)
    • Tickets will not be sold at Pop Keeney Stadium on Commencement Day, Monday, June 15.
  • Tickets are required for anyone over the age of 2. (Children under age 2 sitting on laps are free.)
  • Graduating seniors do not need a ticket.
  • Although there is no limit to how many tickets a family may purchase, Pop Keeney Stadium has limited capacity, and ceremony tickets may sell out.
  • Please note that 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 items and/or purchase additional Commencement tickets. 

*If a senior is unable to be at Senior Awards Night, a friend or relative can pick up the cap, gown, and 5 complimentary tickets; however, a signed note from the parent/guardian must be provided to Jostens/WHS. The individual picking up the items will be required to sign for them, relieving Jostens and WHS of responsibility if they should become lost or misplaced.
 
Caps and gowns and 5 complimentary tickets not picked up during the Senior Awards Night reception will be available during lunches and after school Friday, June 5 or later.
