Each graduate will be thoroughly searched TWICE. If you are caught with these items, you will be pulled from the
graduation line. If you exhibit behaviors unbecoming of a graduate during the commencement ceremony, your
diploma, report card, and final transcript will be held at the school until such a time when an appointment can be
made with the principal, the student, and the parents/guardian of the student.
