Golden Eagle Charter School
Graduation
The graduation ceremony for the senior class takes place in the
Kenneth Ford Theater, on the College of the Siskiyous campus. Usually,
the commencement exercise is
at
the end of May.
We strive to create a personal, student-oriented graduation ceremony. We have a student-led graduation committee that chooses the theme, decorations, music, and speakers. Having an average of 40 students who participate in the ceremony, we can afford the luxury of introducing students individually, honoring their achievements, and having them say a few words to their family and friends as they accept their diplomas.
Graduating seniors are asked to
contribute 3 photographs from their life that will be shown on a large
screen behind them as they walk across the stage. There is
typically a “Rose Ceremony,” wherein students are able to thank
families and friends for their help along the road to graduation.
Student speakers and performers are encouraged to be a part of the ceremony. Afterward, refreshments are provided in the lobby, usually cake, coffee, tea and soda.
Students are requested to contribute to one of the graduation
committees (clean-up, technology, decorations, etc.). They are also
asked to pay a $10 refreshment fee and $35 for the cost of the cap and
gown.
