Senior Informational Assembly

There will be an informational assembly for Seniors on Wednesday, March 19 at 9:15 a.m. in the Jacobs Auditorium. During this assembly, Seniors will receive additional end-of-the-year information, as well as information about the Senior Survey and transferring digital files. Off-campus Seniors who would like to attend must enter through the Main Entrance (door 1) and check in with security.

Senior Awards

Senior Awards will take place on May 12, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. in the Jacobs High School Competition Gym. More information on Senior Awards and the Senior Survey will be forthcoming. 

Expectations for Graduation

You must have a JHS cap and gown to participate.

Inappropriate behavior at school and/or graduation may impact your ability to participate in the graduation ceremony. 

Please keep in mind that for some of our students, this will be their only graduation ceremony. When families and students choose to celebrate a specific graduate, it can frequently take away from the moment of the following graduates. Sometimes that timing is extremely disrespectful to the person receiving his or her diploma at that moment. 

At the end of the ceremony, when we present the JHS Class of 2025, it is the appropriate time to celebrate every graduate. Out of respect for your classmates and peers, please encourage family and friends to hold their exuberance until the final moment.

Students are expected to arrive an hour before the ceremony begins and stay through the entire Commencement Ceremony.
