• Ladies should wear a nice, street-length dress and

below the graduation gown may not look good.) No jeans.
Nice dress slacks are acceptable.
• I would be cautious of wearing high heels. Ramps are steep.
• No colored hair or piercing other than in the ears will be
allowed. NEISD Dress Code Regulations will be strictly
enforced.
Cell Phones, Purses and Car Keys
• All cell phones will be collected as you enter
Freeman Coliseum graduation night. We will place
your cell phone in a plastic bag with your name on it.
After graduation, you will collect your phone. I
suggest you have your parents keep your phone
until after graduation.
• Purses- We do not have a holding place for purses. I
suggest having your parents keep your purse
through graduation.
• Car Keys- We do not collect car keys. Keep them with
you. Keep them hidden at all times.
No Medals
• NEISD guidelines do not allow medals to be worn
at graduation. Only the honor chords for Summa,
Magna, and Cum Laude are worn at graduation.
No other chords are allowed.
• Honor Stoles, like the one below, are also
allowed for honor (NHS) graduates. Officers are
white and members are blue.
Graduation Behavior

You are expected to walk across the stage in a
respectful and responsible manner. No hand
gestures, noises, or inappropriate posses.

Your behavior is expected to exemplary. This is a
very nice occasion with a lot of hard work put
behind it. This is a dignified occasion with the
Executive Staff and the Board Members. Don’t
embarrass yourself or your family. If you act
inappropriately, we will pull you off stage or out
of your seat and make you wait backstage with
the constables.
Graduation Behavior
• Seniors who engage in inappropriate behavior
will not be allowed to continue in the ceremony
and must pick up their diplomas from Mr.
Mehlbrech at a later date. Please make every
effort to make this a solemn occasion. Follow
instructions explicitly and play an important
part in making this the best graduation that has
ever been held. Listen and be ready.
