Students involved in any senior prank run the risk of forfeiting their privilege of participating in graduation.

ceremony similar to a wedding ceremony.  Please remind your friends and family members to

lifetime opportunity for your son/daughter’s name to be announced and heard in this formal
setting. You may certainly applaud and recognize graduates as they enter and exit the stage. Thank you for your understanding, support, and respect for the ceremony and our graduates.

Over the past many years, Evergreen High School has been recognized for graduation ceremonies that
respect tradition and honor the graduates and their families.  We ask that you help respect this tradition
