Dear Seniors and Families,

With graduation less than a month away, we thought it would be a good time to let students and families know some important information regarding graduation and the events leading up to it. Please review the following information carefully.

Contract

Over the last few weeks, the CVHS Administration came into each senior’s Government or Economics class to review the school’s expectation for graduation. Students will also need to submit a signed contract in order to participate in the ceremony. Please review the contract, sign (parent or guardian and student) and return to your house office by Monday May 9th.

Tickets

All graduates will receive four tickets for graduation, automatically. These tickets will be distributed to students at the end of rehearsal on the morning of graduation (Friday, May 27th). 

If you require more than four, please complete this form thoroughly and be sure to submit it when you are done. Students may request up to three (3) additional tickets. Children over two years of age will need a ticket to enter. 

Please work with your family to ensure an accurate count in the number of tickets you are requesting. Errors could result in failure to receive extra tickets.

You must request extra tickets by 3:00 PM on Monday, May 9th.

If you have questions, please contact assistant principal Steven Hendee at shendee@cv.k12.ca.us and House Three secretary Brooke Johnson at bjohnson@cv.k12.ca.us 

Graduating Seniors have been sent an email to their school accounts with a link to a form to submit a request for extra tickets. Only students may request extra tickets.

Graduation Speeches

Graduation speeches are a longstanding tradition at CVHS.  All of our seniors have the opportunity to submit a speech for consideration. This is an exciting opportunity to make a lasting impression on your classmates.

We are currently seeking graduation speeches that are:

Relevant to the entire senior class
Uplifting in message and tone
Appropriate for the audience (parents/guardians, grandparents, children, school and district staff, esteemed community members)
3 minutes in length (can be slightly less, but no longer than 3 min.)
Submission instructions:

Please email a Word or Google doc with your full speech and a video of you speaking your speech to shendee@cv.k12.ca.us.  Please title your Word or Google doc with your name (last name, first name). Please ensure that there is little to no background noise in your video, and speak clearly and slowly enough that we can hear your words. All speeches and videos will be reviewed by the Graduation Committee. Winner(s) will be notified as soon as possible. There will likely be one to two Seniors selected.

Speech submissions are due Friday, May 6 by Noon. No exceptions. Please contact me if you need assistance or have any questions.
