In order for us to guarantee enough seating for all graduates and guests, we have set a deadline of May 1, 2010 for ordering caps and gowns. Please note that the price of the cap and gown increases the later you place your order. Please select this link to download the cap and gown order form.

While various packages are offered, in order to participate in the ceremony you only need to purchase the $28.00 cap, gown and tassel kit. Orders for caps are to be sent directly to the cap and gown supplier. Do not send your order to the JCS main office.

PHOTOS

House of Portraits is providing services for cap and gown photos. Cap and gown photos will be taken prior to the ceremony, between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. Order forms will be provided at the ceremony and payment must be presented to House of Portraits at the time the photo is taken. More information will be posted here once we have the details.

Important note
