Mandatory Cap & Gown For Graduation
Lincoln does not provide the cap and gown that seniors must wear at graduation. Each family needs to order one for their student to walk at graduation.
Currently, only 42 of 189 seniors have ordered. The deadline is December 31, but we know that life starts to get really busy so please ORDER TODAY at the Herff-Jones website. Select “shop grad products” and then use the green “continue shopping” button at the bottom of each page to rotate through the selections.
The only items required for seniors to purchase is the package that includes the cap, gown, tassel, and stole. That is the first item listed on this page. They are $51.95.
If you need support paying for the cap and gown, please contact lincolncounseling@seattleschools.org as soon as possible.
