Class of 2023 and Families,

Graduation Day for the Class of 2023 is quickly approaching. You should be extremely proud of your accomplishment, and we wish all of you continued success. The 48th Commencement of Glasgow High School will be held on June 14, beginning at 7:00PM, at the Bob Carpenter Center, located in the University of Delaware Campus. Each graduating senior will receive 12 tickets to be used for family and friends. You must have a ticket to attend Commencement. Guests two years old and younger may sit on the adult's lap.

Commencement is a wonderful ceremony that will create lasting memories for you and your family. Enclosed, please find a copy of our Senior Calendar, Dress Code and University of Delaware guidelines for Commencement. Students with outstanding debts, with incidents of inappropriate behavior, not adhering to the dress code, and/or missing practice will not be permitted to participate in Commencement. Additionally, students who have violated the attendance policy and/or have failed to complete all academic requirements will not be permitted to participate in Commencement. In summary, students must meet all District and State graduation requirements to participate in Commencement.

Parents and guardians, please speak with your student about the importance of making the right choices during this time of celebration. It is critical that students confirm that final course requirements are met and that they avoid disciplinary consequences. We do not want any of our students to make poor choices that could jeopardize their graduation status and, more importantly, their health.

We look forward to the celebration of our Graduating Class of 2023.
