The Cap and Gown

Preparing to march to “Pomp and Circumstance” is about wearing the traditional graduation cap and gown, a tradition that dates back centuries to the early universities in Europe.

How to wear your cap and gown:

  1. The graduation cap is worn flat on the head, parallel to the floor. The front point of the cap should be centered on the forehead.

  2. The graduation gown should fall midway between the knee and ankle.

  3. Men should remove their graduation caps during the school song and the National Anthem.

  4. Tassels are usually worn on the right side and shifted to the left when graduates receive their diplomas.

  5. Men generally wear dark trousers and dress shirts and ties under their graduation gowns.

  6. Women generally wear lightweight dresses or blouses and skirts that do not hang below their graduation gowns.

  7. Flowers and jewelry should not be worn on the academic gown.

  8. Caps and gowns can be accessorized with specific regalia like stoles and honor cords in keeping with the traditions of the school.

High school graduation only comes once in a lifetime. Celebrate every moment of your graduation ceremony with the pride you deserve – as you take that next step into your great future. (Source: www.jostens.com)
