Ordering Your Cap and Gown

Attention Class of 2016! Graduation is slowly, but also very quickly, approaching and there is no time to waste when ordering your cap and gown. This year the school has transferred to a different vendor which means there will be different steps on how to order your cap and gown. The company where Sweetwater will be getting their caps and gowns for their students will be SD Grad Supply in El Cajon. This also gives SUHi students two options on receiving a cap and gown. Students may either borrow their cap and gown free of charge or purchase it for $22.75.

In order to pay for or borrow the cap and gown, Seniors received a form in their government class which students must fill out with their basic information, including their height and weight to determine the size of the cap and gown needed. If a student is in need of a form to order a cap and gown, many extras are available in the ASB. In order to complete the transaction, students will need to turn in their money and their form to the company when they attend SUHi during lunch. The company will come in during a total of four days. The next date they will be at Sweetwater will be on March 15th. It is recommended that Seniors pay for their caps and gowns that day because if they wait for the last day, lines will be long. And if they are not able to pay by that last day, their last resort will be to borrow the cap and gown or pay for it in the company’s office in El Cajon.

If students are only borrowing the cap and gown, there is no need to worry about the long lines: just simply stop by the ASB and turn in the completed form. If there are any questions, please stop by the ASB and ask. The next day SD Grad supply will come to Sweetwater is on Tuesday, March 15th and the last day will be Wednesday, April 13th. Seniors, make sure to order yours as soon as possible!
