Graduation Ceremony
GRADUATION CEREMONY
EGCS conducts a graduation ceremony once a year. The ceremony is held in a traditional format and students are required to wear a cap and gown to participate in the ceremony. The ceremony is held at the end of the school year, typically during the last week of school. Regardless of when students graduate during the academic year, they are eligible to participate in the graduation ceremony. EGCS has a strong tradition of student speakers and performers during the ceremony. If students are interested in speaking or performing please inform the ISP teacher or the office.
Unfortunately, not all students will be allowed to participate in the graduation ceremony. Students who do not complete ALL graduation requirements prior to the ceremony will not be allowed to participate. Students who complete the GED or CHSPE are not eligible to participate in the ceremony. Also, students who receive disciplinary actions during the last 30 days of school may not be eligible to participate in the ceremony. Students with outstanding book fees and other holds will not be allowed to participate. Additionally, graduating students with holds will not receive their diploma or official transcripts until the hold is cleared.
