Parents, please make sure you find our (PHS) specific graduation and purchase the parking for that graduation (May 31st ).

The graduates’ dress code for Baccalaureate and Graduation is as follows:
1. An appropriate Cap & Gown must be worn to participate.
2. Dress pants and dress shirt, a dress or skirt and blouse, or pantsuit are recommended outfits.
3. If wearing pants, wear matching dark socks with dress shoes. No sneakers, flip flops, etc. are allowed. No visible "bulky" jewelry, scarves, ribbons, etc. are permitted. We recommend that students do not wear high heels, as there will be a lot of walking and stair climbing.
Note: Anyone who does not meet the dress code requirements must return home to change their attire and return in proper dress and on time to participate in the event.
If meeting these dress code requirements presents a problem for a student, please have them contact Ms. Edwards, or Mrs. Kadlub at 352-524-5500.
Graduates will have their picture taken professionally as they receive their diploma on stage. Picture package options for this special moment will be made available to you through Gigante (813-907-1078). Please make sure your address is correct with PHS, as that is the address that we will provide to Gigante.
Upon completion of Graduation, graduates can pick up their diplomas in the same area they reported to upon arrival, The Corral. Only students who have officially completed their check out will be able to receive their diploma. Once picking up your diploma, you will need to exit the Yuengling Center. We recommend setting up a pre-arranged meeting place outside of the Yuengling Center with your family/guests.
Congratulations Class of 2024
Thank you,
