IT’S GRADUATION DAY...Today is the BIG DAY 

REMINDERS:

Graduation Attire: Cap and Gown

The cap should sit flat on top of your head with the deep part in the back. You will likely need to use bobby pins to keep it on. The cap may not fit correctly; hairstyles may need to be modified.
The tassel begins on the right side and will be turned to the left at the end of the graduation as part of the ceremony.
The gown should be fully zipped and on the shoulders
Only the cords and stoles of clubs and honors societies that are part of RHHS and HCPSS can be worn with the cap and gown at graduation. 
You may not decorate the top of the cap or the gown. 

PARKING
Students and guests are strongly encouraged to ride together and must park in the assigned lots when arriving at Merriweather Post Pavilion. Drivers are asked to follow signs and direction of the parking attendants.

Please note:

Parking lots will open 1 hour in advance of the ceremony start time.
Please make every effort to vacate the parking lot as quickly as possible after a ceremony so that parking is available for the next graduation.
Merriweather Lot 1, which is located just inside the Little Patuxent Parkway at Merriweather Lane is designated as ADA parking. Entrants must have a disability placard and/or license plate. Parking staff may direct vehicles to other marked ADA spaces if they are available.
