Lake Creek High School graduation is a special ceremony for our students and community. Fog horns, cowbells, silly string, beach balls, etc., are NOT appropriate for this kind of ceremony. We want every parent/relative/friend in the audience to be able to hear their special student’s name being announced and awarded a diploma.

DIPLOMAS will be given to the graduates at the end of the ceremony. They will receive them before they leave the field.

Guest Seating
Seating is on a first come basis. No tickets are issued, as there is ample space available in the stadium. The stadium will open the doors at 6:00pm for seating. We recommend you bring a towel to cover or dry off the bleachers. Reservations are NOT available for seating. Handicap seating is on the bottom 3 rows around the stadium. Each member in party who will need a handicap seat may have one other member sit with them. Please be respectful and follow this need. We want all parent/relative/friend to be comfortable and safe.
Cap and Gown Etiquette
The caps are worn with the mortarboard flat. This year students are allowed to decorate their mortarboards. The design needs to follow the MISD dress code requirements. Begin with the tassel on the left side, moving it to the right when told to do so during the ceremony. Males will remove the graduation cap during the National Anthem, Opening remarks and pledge. They will then replace the cap on head and fix tassel. Females do not need to remove cap.
Young men should wear dress slacks or pressed jeans with a white collared shirt. Ties are acceptable and encouraged, but optional. Young ladies are to wear dresses or dress slacks, dress shoes and/or dress sandals that complement the gown. No pointed heels on the turf please. DO NOT BRING A PURSE or personal items with you. When all seniors follow this pattern of dress, the class will look uniform in its caps and gowns, lending the proper dignity to the graduation ceremony.
NO corsages, ribbons, pins, etc on gowns are allowed. Only approved cords, pins, stoles, honor medals, and National Honor Society collars may be worn.
REMEMBER, this is a formal ceremony. During the graduation exercises, mature conduct is expected. Please do not talk during the graduation exercises. The staff has worked hard to make this a dignified occasion, which will be a cherished memory for all participants and guests.
