All graduating seniors are expected to attend Senior Breakfast at 8:30 am on Friday, June 6th in the SHS Commons. Due to limited seating, this event is reserved for seniors only; we’re unable to accommodate family or friends. Breakfast will be provided free of charge, and the menu will be shared soon.

The Graduation Ceremony Rehearsal will begin promptly at 10:00 am in the East Gym, right after the Senior Breakfast. Plan to be there for about 3 to 4 hours, or until everything is polished and ready for the big moment. You are encouraged bring water, a snack, and sun screen, as portions of rehearsal will take place outdoors.

Essential Reminders for Graduating Seniors:

• Arrive in the East Gym no later than 6:00 pm.
• Park in the student lot on 7th Street.  
• Come dressed in your cap and gown. You’re welcome to decorate your cap, but keep in mind that decorations must be school appropriate, in good taste, and should not extend above the surface of the cap.
• Wear comfortable shoes. Please avoid wearing spike high heels because they can damage the track and gym floor.  
• Immediately following the ceremony, graduates can pick up their diplomas in the East Gym. Seniors who still need to earn required credits will have a hold placed on their diploma.

Additional Information:

• Each graduating senior will receive 10 guest tickets for the ceremony. All guests ages 3 and older will need a ticket to attend.
• Starting Monday, June 2nd, graduating seniors must return all library books, textbooks, and any school-issued technology they are no longer using to the SHS Library. Any fines for lost or damaged items must also be paid at that time.
  • ✅ These steps must be completed in order to receive your graduation ceremony tickets. If you’re unsure what needs to be returned or paid, please see Schneider in the library for assistance.
• SPS Google accounts will be deactivated after Monday, August 4th. Please make sure to save or back up any files you wish to keep before that date.
• For graduates who wish to keep any Google Docs or emails from their SPS account, we recommend following this process: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6386856

Information for Guests:

• Silke Field will open for guests with tickets at 6:45 pm.
• Please refrain from bringing balloons of any kind. At past ceremonies at Silke, helium balloons have escaped and caused explosions when they came into contact with power lines.
• There will be a designated area for ADA guests, along with space for one accompanying attendant.
• All guests, including young children, are expected to remain seated throughout the ceremony; especially while graduate names are being announced.

Thank you all for your continued partnership and support of Springfield High School. Let’s finish strong and celebrate a great graduation!

Sincerely,

Principal da Silva
