Senior Expectations

To: The Class of 2010
From: Mr. Torres, ZHS Principal

This information is presented to help you make your final days at Zillah High School as positive and successful as possible. The graduation ceremony (commencement) on June 4 is a privilege not a right. Attending is not a requirement to receive a diploma, but seniors must have earned the right to participate by following guidelines and requirements. Please do not put yourself in a position to lose this privilege. You should complete all work on time with an emphasis on quality, in other words do your best right up to the last day. Your citizenship needs to remain at a high level. Make good decisions about your behavior. It would be unfortunate to not graduate on time or be dropped from participating in any ceremony or event by making poor choices. To participate in the graduation and baccalaureate ceremonies you must completed the graduation requirements, make the required practices and be cleared of all fines. Parents of students who do not meet the expectations will receive notification of non participation for their students.
