Whiteville High School

Good evening Class of 2023 and parents.  As we approach graduation on June 10, 2023 I wanted to make sure everyone is ready for the big day by sending out a few reminders.

ANYTIME YOU WEAR YOUR CAP AND GOWN, YOU MUST BE PROPERLY DRESSED UNDERNEATH.  YOUR CAP/GOWN MAY NOT BE DECORATED IN ANY WAY.  Failure to follow these guidelines will result in the student being pulled from graduation and not allowed to walk.

No cords, stoles, or other items from outside organizations shall be worn with graduation attire.  Only those given and approved by Whiteville High School organizations are permitted.  The gold tassels for Honor Graduates, the Gold Stoles for Latin Honors, and the Gold Cords for NC Academic Scholars will be given out at graduation practice.  

Students shall meet one of the following dress code options for graduation day.  Failure to be in dress code compliance will result in the student being pulled from graduation and not allowed to walk.

Girls (Option #1): Dress (should not be seen below your gown or above the neckline of your gown – no collars, ruffles, or high necklines), dress shoes, or sandals.  No corsages, dangling earrings, or necklaces.  No other attachments are permitted.

Boys (Option #2):  Dress shirt with a collar.  Neckties.  Dress pants (dark or khakis). Dress shoes and socks.

Graduation tickets will be given out at the end of graduation practice on June 9, 2023 to those students that do not owe any fees to the school.

Due to the limited amount of parking at the stadium we are encouraging families to carpool as much as possible.

Ticket Gates will close at the start of graduation which is 9 am.

Thank you for your support in making this the best day for your student graduate.
