2024 Graduation Tips & Procedures


TIP 1:
EPISD SAC 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 carpool. 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. This year, all stoles and cords must be approved by campus administration. This means any stoles that are not campus or district related will not be allowed at graduation and if a student wears a stole that is not approved it will be confiscated and available to pick up at the student's campus on the next business day. 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, only clear bags will be allowed in the stadium. If you bring a bag that is not clear you will be turned away and asked to leave your belongings in your vehicle before entering. And finally, 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, Eagle Pass High’s ceremony will be moved to 10:00 am Saturday, May 25th and C.C. Winn High School’s would be moved to Sunday May 26th. 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. If rain continues on your reassigned Graduation date, the ceremony will be canceled and you can pick up your diploma on the next business day at your home campus.
Graduation is an important time in all of our lives and if we follow these tips and procedures, the Class of 2024’s graduation will be one for the record books.

 WHS Silverline surprised PEIMS Coordinator, Mr. Jesse Montalvo, on Tuesday, May 14th.

Tuesday – EpiPen Day! Two is Better Than One – Create a Tik Tok Duet

Pair up with a pal and twin to double your knowledge on food allergies.


It is important to remember that once a serious allergic reaction starts, the EpiPen is the only effective treatment.

As the EpiPen is key to saving lives, we are asking for everyone to know where to administer one.  
Introducing the concept at a young age is key.

The Ambassadors even gave a great presentation about Food Allergies at Graves' Career Day
