Seniors must get your own transportation to South Eugene High School by 8:30am.

Standing room may be all that is available.  Seniors will be excused from periods 5 and 6, but will need to attend their period 7 and 8 classes.

STUDENT ATTIRE:
Graduates should dress up nicely like they would for a nice dinner or event--IHS GRADUATES DO NOT WEAR CAPS AND GOWNS! Since we have graduates from three different high schools, it looks better to just wear nice clothes. We encourage students to wear their IB stoles and any other honor cords they have earned.  Students should leave all belongings with their family members or will need to be responsible for them if they bring them on stage.

TRANSLATION SERVICES:
If you or anyone in your group will need a translator for graduation please let the IHS secretary on your campus  know at the time of ticket pick up.  

FRENCH AND SPANISH IMMERSION CEREMONIES:
There are also separate French immersion and Spanish immersion graduation ceremonies, usually held at Charlemagne and Buena Vista, respectively. These events are not organized by IHS, but instead are coordinated by FI/SI parents of the graduating senior class.
