Gentle Reminders:

From page 12 in the Student Handbook:
“2.3 Students who are academically ineligible to receive a diploma, will not participate in Senior activities, including but limited to Senior Ball, Senior Assembly, Baccalaureate, Commencement Ceremony and Grad Night.”

As per the Senior Financial Agreement 2011-2012:
“The school reserves the right to withhold items such as yearbooks, diplomas and senior activities until financial accounts are settled.”

We do not sponsor any senior trips to anywhere (nor does DLS).

Pranks. No pranks are harmless - even if it is "just" shaving cream or toilet paper or sidewalk chalk.  The cleanup costs money and takes time away from our very busy custodial staff.  Participating in pranks could cost your daughter her graduation activities.

There is NO senior cut day.

The Senior Assembly is a formal ceremony where the class of 2012 is honored in front of the student body and receive their Carondelet medals – a CHS tradition.  This is a special moment as their schoolmates recognize the seniors for the last time.  This is an all school assembly for the student body.

*Gowns are worn with a nice dress and low-heeled dress shoes (no flip-flops, UGGS, boots, tennis shoes or moccasins). 

Baccalaureate

Attire:  White graduation gown (no caps)

Baccalaureate is a special Liturgy designed to celebrate the graduating class and to gather in prayer with classmates, teachers, family and friends.  This is meant to be an event for the immediate family and it is recommended that each graduate have only four guests in attendance.  A dessert reception will follow.
