Guidelines for Graduation Attire, Honors & Recognition
The following guidelines reflect what will be officially recognized as graduation regalia for Liberty High School.
Stoles:
-
All Liberty students will have the opportunity to purchase stoles as part of their graduation regalia package.
-
ASB student officers will be presented with stoles (decision allowed in 2015) and have the option to wear the stole as part of graduation regalia.
Cords:
-
Students who have earned Latin honors (3.5 or higher with no rounding) will be able to wear a cord at graduation – there will be single cord for all Latin Honors.
-
Students who have worked with PTSA (decision allowed in 2013) to document 100+ hours of community service will be able to wear a service cord at graduation.
-
Keeping in mind the equity of participation, the logistics of management, and the consistency of regalia across the ISD, ASB Clubs and Activities will not be allowed to purchase graduation cords.
Caps

Cultural Expression during Commencement Ceremonies
