Seton 2008 Graduation

Seton Home Study School will hold a high school graduation ceremony on May 24th, 2008. The ceremony will be held on the campus of Christendom College, in Front Royal, Virginia.

Schedule

The graduation will begin with Mass in the Christendom College Chapel of Christ the King at 2:00 p.m. As soon as practical following Mass (approximately 3:15), the graduation ceremony will be held in St. Lawrence Commons, which is adjacent to the chapel. Following the ceremony, a reception will be held for graduates and their families in St. Lawrence Commons.

A more complete schedule will be sent at a later date to registered graduates.

Eligibility

In order to be eligible to participate in the graduation ceremony, students must:

• be 12th grade Seton Home Study School students
• be taking sufficient courses in 12th grade to meet graduation requirements
• have at least three-fourths of quarter grades by the graduation date
• have completed, or expect to complete, high school work in the 2008 calendar year
• be current on any tuition or fees owed to Seton
• register and pay the graduation fee by March 15th, 2008

Students ARE NOT REQUIRED to have completed all courses by the graduation date. Students who have not completed sufficient credits to graduate will receive a blank diploma at the ceremony. A signed diploma will be mailed to the student when studies are completed.

Students must complete three-fourths of their work, but this does not mean three quarters of work in all subjects. For example, a student taking four courses would satisfy the requirement by having final grades in three courses but no grades yet in the other course.

If you are unsure as to your credits or courses, please contact our high school guidance counselor, Bob Wiesner either at 540-636-9990 or BWiesner@setonhome.org.

Fees

There will be a graduation fee of $100 per graduate. This fee will cover expenses such as caps and gowns, tassels, diplomas, the reception, and other expenses of graduation. This fee is non-refundable.

Guests

Because we expect a large number of graduates, we are currently limiting the number of guests to 10 per graduate. Graduates may request to bring more guests if room is available.

Further information, such as a list of graduation speakers, maps, and hotel information will be posted as it becomes available.

Registration

Remember, you must register by March 15th, 2008. Once you register, your records will be reviewed to ensure that you are on track to graduate in 2008. If we have any concerns regarding your records, we will contact you.
