The big day will be here before we know it! Graduation for the 2026 Warsaw High School graduating class will take place Thursday, May 21 at 7:00 PM. Weather permitting, graduation will be held on the football field.
To ensure all seniors stay informed, we have compiled a list of important details, tasks and dates below.
Attendance: Seniors must have at least 90% attendance to walk at graduation. This is a cumulative percentage for the entire 4-years of high school. Please see the high school office with any questions.
Caps & Gowns: The deadline to order your student’s cap & gown was December 31, 2025. Caps & gowns will be distributed to seniors on graduation day (no sooner!). The caps are for the graduates to keep - the gowns are a rental and must be returned to Ms. Seigel after graduation.
Baby Pictures: Ms. Siegel is no longer accepting photos for the "Then & Now" slideshow that will be shared on the large screen at the graduation ceremony. The deadline to submit a baby or toddler picture to Ms. Siegel was March 17.
Senior Recognition in The Wildcat & Yearbook: Please see the Senior Recognition Ad Order Form to learn how your senior can be recognized in the Yearbook.
Project Graduation: Senior parents have been hard at work planning a fun event for seniors to attend after graduation. Stay up-to-date with the latest on the group Facebook page: WHS Project Grad Class of 26’
Senior Forms & Surveys: Please ensure your senior is checking their email regularly. There are important forms that Ms. Siegel has sent, two of which have an extended due date of 4/22. Mr. Richardson has also sent a Senior Exit Survey and Scholarship Reporting Form. It is important that these are completed, as they help ensure seniors are properly recognized at awards night, allow us to know where to send transcripts (if applicable), and provide a way to stay in contact with seniors after graduation.
Graduation Tickets: Tickets are required to attend the graduation ceremony. A google form has been sent to seniors and is due back May 8. Once that form is filled out, it is the senior’s responsibility to distribute the tickets.
Senior Class Trip: The seniors will take a trip to St. Louis on Friday, May 15. Seniors must be at school no later than 6:00 AM. A permission form must be signed by a parent/guardian and returned along with the $40 trip fee to Ms. Siegel no later than Thursday, 4/30.
