The Class of 2016 has worked hard to meet a set of rigorous graduation requirements that lead to
meaningful post high school opportunities. The staff of Reynolds High School works diligently to provide
a quality graduation ceremony that celebrates these accomplishments. Consequently, we require
graduating seniors to wear traditional robes and caps without any adornments, only items issued by the
school may be worn during the ceremony. Please respect the importance of this event by not bringing in
noisemakers or other items that detract from the significance of the evening. We share in the pride of your
student’s achievements and look forward to celebrating them with you on graduation night.
