As graduation approaches, seniors must remain organized and prepare for the upcoming events. Adhering to key deadlines, fulfilling requirements, and participating in ceremonies will significantly influence their final months at Sierra Vista, contributing to a successful and memorable conclusion to the high school experience.
First and foremost, seniors must meet some important deadlines to remain eligible for graduation. The senior agreement form is due April 4th. It’s required for all seniors to confirm their participation in graduation-related activities. All fines need to be cleared by April 2nd. Students with outstanding fines will not be allowed to walk the stage. All caps and gowns must be ordered through Herff Jones at HJGrad.com or call 702-396-4723. The cap and gown will be distributed at the Grad Walk on May 2, 2024.
For students interested in delivering a farewell address at graduation, the speech submission process opens March 1st and closes March 28th. Ensure the speech follows the Vista is Beautiful or F.A.I.R themes and stays under 2 minutes. This opportunity allows reflection on the high school journey, acknowledgment of those who helped, and sharing final thoughts with classmates. Creativity is key, many speeches will be long so make sure to stand out.
