September 24, 2008 – Announcement presentation; Receive Diploma Listing
Herff Jones will present the packages available for purchase. Announcements are not a required purchase. You will also be able to purchase other senior items such as t-shirts and extra tassels. None of these purchases are required. Do not waste a lot of money. I recommend purchasing only the number of announcements needed to send to family and friends. These announcements do not guarantee seats at graduation. Do not bring money on this day. You will only be looking at the items available for purchase.
Tip: You need to take the ACT and the SAT. Get registered through the Guidance Department. Don’t wait until the last testing date to test.
