Graduation

Seniors should contact Midwest Scholastic immediately to see if they can still order a cap and gown.  The website for Midwest Scholastic is www.mwscholastic.com.  If you have a question about cap and gowns please email them to questions@mwscholastic.com

If the balance was paid in full, the cap and gown should be in the main office for pick up.  If you have any questions about caps and gowns please email Midwest Scholastic at questions@mwscholastic.com.

Graduates must be in their assigned location no later than 4:45 p.m.

Students should enter the Kohl Center through the student Gate to the right of Gate A.

As graduates enter the Student Gate they will go immediately down the stairs to the lower level.  Graduates will be lining up on the lower level of the Kohl Center in alphabetical order.  There will be signage and supervisors directing students to their appropriate spots in line.

No tickets will be required this year.

The Sun Prairie Media Center telecasts the graduation ceremony live on KSUN, which is available on Charter cable channel 983 and TDS cable channels 13 and 1013. KSUN is also available streaming online at sunprairiemediacenter.com as well on Roku and Apple TV devices and the Sun Prairie Media Center app that is available for free download from the App Store and Google Play. In addition, the Sun Prairie Media Center makes USBs and DVDs of the ceremony available for purchase. Please go to sunprairiemediacenter.com/sphsgraduation to order.

Students are reminded of the dignity and decorum that should accompany such an important event.  Considering graduation is a formal ceremony, students are expected to dress appropriately. Masks continue to be recommended, but not required, as a way to reduce the spread. We will follow district guidelines and update if recommendations change.

Yes. Empire Photography is offering to take a professional picture of each graduate as they receive their diploma.  Proofs will be sent via email after the ceremony using the contact information provided in Infinite Campus.  You can contact Empire Photography at customerservice@empirephotos.com.  For safety reasons, it is imperative that all family and friends stay seated for the duration of the ceremony.

Seniors who have earned a grade point average of 3.2-3.499 after 7 semesters are eligible to graduate with honors.  Seniors who have earned a grade point average of 3.5 and above after 7 semesters are eligible to graduate with high honors.  Students graduating with honors/high honors will receive an honor cord immediately before crossing the stage.  These are ordered by the school.

Students will report to one of four designated areas after the ceremony to pick up their actual diplomas (students receive a diploma cover during the ceremony, not their actual diploma).  There will be tables set up on the surface level of the Kohl Center.  There will be four designated areas for pick up, last names starting with A-F, G-L, M-S, and T-Z.

These belong to the students and/or their caregiver.  If they are well taken care of, younger siblings might be able to wear them in the near future.  Caps and gowns can also be donated in the main office at any time for future students that might have financial needs
