Information for Seniors
Important Graduation Information
Commencement will take place on Monday, June 5th at the Minneapolis Convention Center.
*Highview seniors will walk with Armstrong or Cooper High Schools.
Highview students will need to meet deadlines with having all credits completed and entered into the system to take part in graduation. Seniors can be missing 1 credit to walk, but will not receive your diploma. If seniors are missing 2 credits they will not be allowed to walk during graduation.
Students can only participate in the ceremony of the school issuing their diploma. A survey will be sent out as we get closer to graduation asking which graduation students will take part in. Sarah Gaustad will confirm the selection during the exit interview when students completes their final credit.
