Senior Dues must be paid prior to students picking up their Cap & Gown on May 24th. 

Cap & Gown sizing has been completed. If your Senior missed the submission deadline, do not worry. We purchase extras in case someone did not get their information in on time or if sizing does not work.

Woodson Feeder schools will be holding Senior Grad Walks at each of their locations. Senior Grad Walks are when seniors who attended that feeder school have the opportunity to walk the hallways and be cheered on by their current students. Our feeder schools are very proud of former students hard work in reaching this milestone accomplishment.
