Do i have to show up for my highschool graduation?
For special cases, you do not have to. Graduation is based on academic achievements so if you passed all your classes, you have earned the right to a diploma, that being said, I believe you can pick up your diploma at a latter time if you have a good reason for not being there or if you make arrangements beforehand. It may vary by school so make sure you talk to your counselor.
Should I go to my high school graduation?
There are really two questions here, so I will answer both of them.The first is: Will my school require me to go to my graduation. The answer to this is a resounding “No”. No school I have ever attended or taught at required student attendance. Graduation is generally considered to be “extracurricular” or outside of school hours. Schools understand that you may already be in university, on a trip, moving, or working during graduation. It is no more a required activity than prom is.Which leads us to the second question: Am I, personally, required to go. The answer to that one is… “maybe”? We never go to graduations for ourselves, we generally do it for our parents and family. If you are the first person to graduate high school in your family, they will absolutely insist on your attendance. If your parents have been walking around humming “pomp and circumstance” for the past month, suck it up you are going!Graduation is one of those things we do for others, not for ourselves. It is the opportunity for your family to celebrate your success and transition to adulthood. Graduation is not for you. If it were, no one would attend their graduations.Discuss with your family if you can skip your graduation. I tried to skip my high school graduation, but I was not allowed. You graduation ceremony will generally only take 4 hours, and it is usually followed by a party or dinner with your family. If your family wants this, give it to them. It will be a wonderful memory in the future and it will demonstrate you are capable of doing things for others as an adult.Good luck, and enjoy your graduation in whatever form it takes.
Do I have to go to my high school graduation?
Ok so I graduate in june (this year), and this is my first year at this public school and I dont really like this school. I went to a catholic HS my junior year, then another public school my freshmen-sophomore year. all my real friends are at my junior year school, the catholic school. So this year is just kind of odd, i dont like the school or very many of the people at the school, I guess im shy and idk all my better friends are at my other high school. so do i have to go to the graduation? and also the cap and gown to rent it is $800 because its so late in the school year they jacked the price up, and that is just to rent! so do i go to graduation? i dont really want to go, and also pay $800.
What happens if you don't go to your high school graduation?
Well, that's what my sister did and she just picked up her diploma in the front office a week after graduation. Call the front office of your school, they will tell your their policy.
My son does not want to go to his high school graduation. Is this disrespectful to the school?
No.But as someone who skipped graduation because it seemed meaningless to me—just a footnote on the way to college—I regretted it. My parents,who supported my decision, later said they regretted it. Yeah, it's boring, and if you are headed to college it doesn't seem like much of an accomplishment, but it's a social rite of passage, celebrating the completion of an important stage on the way to independent adulthood. In many ways it marks the end of childhood, a period in which other people tell you where you have to go and what you have to do. In that sense it's a significant event.I'm sorry I didn't walk across the stupid stage and go out afterwards with my parents for a nice dinner to celebrate.But no, the school doesn't give a shit if you attend that one ceremony, and you don't owe them anything. The ceremony is not what makes you a graduate; it's just for show. If you don't feel the desire to go. there's no reason you should have to.
Do you still receive your high school diploma if you don't walk in the ceremony?
My high school graduation is coming up in May, but the time to buy caps and gowns is now, which is why I'm asking this now. I don't want to attend the graduation ceremony, for several reasons. I absolutely despise high school, and everything about it. I despise the people, I despise the teachers, I despise the code of conduct, I despise the fact that the school CLEARLY doesn't trust its students and treats us like inmates, and I despise the entire public school education system in general. I'm looking forward to college more than I was previously, mostly due to the fact that it simply allows for so much more freedom than high school. Also, buying cap and gowns costs a lot of money, which my family is much tighter on as of late. A lot of people say that graduation is a time to spend your last moments with your friends, which isn't applicable to me. I have a completely non-existent social life; no friends, no boyfriend, never attended any dances, etc. I've also heard a lot of people say that high school is for your family. The problem with that is that not only am I not very fond of my family, but it's not their choice. I'll be 18 when the time comes, so it should be my choice. I don't wish to deal with the people, I don't wish to stand around for 3 hours doing nothing, and I don't wish to have to listen to a million guest speakers go on and on about how important graduation is and how life-changing and important high school really was. I've long since known that the only thing about high school that even remotely matters is the diploma. If I can still receive that, either through the mail, or picking it up at the office, or by whatever means, then that is definitely what I'm going to do. So, simply put, do you HAVE to participate in the ceremony in order to receive the diploma? A quick Google search revealed no answers (Google has failed me!), and even though I'm pretty sure I already know the answer, I just want to ask you guys.
How do I get my high school diploma if I left school two weeks before graduation ceremonies?
It’s a bit of an odd question.I am assuming that you mean you had finished all your coursework and received passing grades in all of your classes for the semester. Also that you meet any and all requirements to graduate.If that is the case then you should call or go by the school and ask them how you can receive your diploma. Typically the actual diploma is mailed to you. Though I do know some schools that actually pass them out at the ceremony. But, in either event, contact the school and they can easily tell you.IF you left school prior to end of year exams and coursework, or if you do not meet requirements for graduation, you will need to discuss your options with the school administration. Typically you would have to re-take classes in order to graduate. But, I suspect that the former issue is the concern.
Why should I go to my high school graduation ceremony if I don’t see it as a big accomplishment?
One day, could be soon, could be many many moons from now, you're going to be in a position when you are asked about graduation. This could be in a one on one setting, could be in a group setting, could be by your kids, regardless of who you'll feel an emotional void if you need to answer by saying you didn't attend.This comes from personal experience. For reasons omnipresent at the time of my HS graduation I didn't attend. I've subsequently placed in a position as described above. Answering has always been difficult, more difficult the closer my age was to the graduation. Its gotten easier over the last 30 years, but not much.I don't care what your circumstance s are unless you will be in immediate physical harm go. Go to every graduation anything, practice, dances, parties (have a beer for me) and most importantly your graduation.One more thing. Take pictures, lots of them, and then come back here to Quora and post some in this question and then write a question to encourage other new grads to share their stories.I'm envisioning a 1000+ upvote question here. If I had grad pictures I'd beat you to it, wait I don't, so go graduate and share it with us.
Why do we have to go to graduation rehearsals for high school?
don't we just sit down until our names are called? Cold I just get my diploma mailed to me instead of going to the rehersal and wasting a day for graduation day waiting for my name to be called?
