The senior class of 2024 had a meeting on 10/5/2023 in the PAC with our Herff Jones Rep, who had information about graduation cap/gowns and graduation announcements.  They were able to see what the gowns and graduation announcements will look like.

They were given a QR code from Herff Jones to submit their height and weight so that the cap/gown you order will be custom fitted just for them.
 
To purchase the cap and gown click the link below, select shop grad products, select Graduation A La Carte, and then scroll to bottom of the page to Grad Essentials  

https://highschool.herffjones.com/secom/school/KS/Blue%2BValley%2BSouthwest%2BHs/15001748000/4349/home?gradYear=2024

The cap and gown that will be worn for graduation is the same traditional gown worn since the school opened.  If your senior had a sibling graduate prior to this year, he/she may wear the same gown.  However, you will want to order a cap and
2024 tassel. The “cap and tassel only” may be ordered by emailing: Megan Theiling, mmtheiling@herffjones.com indicating you already have a gown but would like to order the Cap and Tassel only.

It is important that you order these items BEFORE DECEMBER 1. 
Do it now and check this off your SENIOR TO-DO list.

If you have any questions, please ask your senior.  If he or she cannot answer your question, feel free to email Megan Theiling at the above email address.
