gates will open at 6:00 p.m. and the ceremony will begin promptly at 8:00 p.m.
With nearly 500 seniors graduating from both high schools, traffic can be
overwhelming which is why we highly recommend for families and graduates to car
pool. We also suggest that guests use the alternative route to the Student
Activities Center.
Taking Loop
480 to 277 will help divide the traffic in front of the Student Activity Center
and aid the process of allowing vehicles to enter and exit the parking lot.
TIP 2:
Dress Code! All students participating in the graduation ceremonies must be compliant with school dress code policy. Any student not in compliance will not be allowed to participate.
This includes no markings, messages, or labels on the cap or the
gown. And finally, high heels are absolutely not allowed on the field! Girls
may only wear flat-footed shoes.
Tip 3:
Certain items are not allowed on the field! The graduate cannot bring backpacks, purses, sacks or bags of any kind. Foreign objects such as beach balls, balloons, air horns, fireworks, etc. are not allowed. If you are caught with a controlled substance or under the influence, you will be removed!
Also, for guests, ICE CHESTS ARE NOT ALLOWED on the premises!
Tip 4:
All students must line up on the field already in cap and gown for procession. Every student is expected to behave appropriately and act respectfully towards all the people there to honor them.
If behavior becomes an issue the student will be dismissed
from the ceremony and they will have to pick up their diploma on the next
business day at their home campus.
Tip 5:
This year, photos taken of the graduate receiving their diploma will be free to download off the district’s website. You will go to https://episd.smugmug.com/ and then click on either the EPHS Graduation or WHS Graduation album.
Once you click on the album, you will be able to scroll and look through all the photos that were taken at graduation.
When you find the photo(s) you would like to download, you will click on it and then click the download icon to receive your free photo(s).
Tip 6:
The last bit of information is in case of inclement of weather.
If there is rain on graduation day, EPHS’ ceremony will be moved to 10:00 am Saturday and Winn’s would be moved to Sunday, May 29th.
So, if it is raining the day of your
assigned graduation please tune into your local radio station, check all EPISD
social media pages, and/or call your campus to receive further details.
