You can also order a letterman jacket on these days.

Brochures will be sent to STEM next week as well. If you plan to reuse or borrow a cap & gown from a previous graduate, that is permissible; however, please be aware that the silver stole (victory hood) is different this year! You must order the new version for the ceremony. As you begin to receive your orders, PLEASE remember: caps cannot be decorated, and stoles cannot be monogrammed, per district policy!
