Ceremony Rehearsal

Graduation Day – May 16th, 2026

Graduate Dress Code Requirements

Graduates will wear caps and gowns provided by Homeschool Idaho and given to students on graduation day. Caps and gowns from previous years are not allowed. The graduation fee includes the cap and gown.

Young men must wear dress shirts and slacks, tie optional. Young women must wear dresses or skirts.

All graduates must wear dress shoes, dress boots, or dress cowboy boots (no athletic shoes, flip-flops or bare feet, please).

Please recognize that gowns are polyester and the stage lights are hot. We do not recommend layers, suit jackets, or heavy clothing. Keep in mind that it gets very warm for the graduates during the two hours when they are on stage.

No embellishments or personalization of caps and gowns will be permitted during the ceremony (with the exception of Honor Cords, which are available from Homeschool Idaho for qualified students for an additional fee; and Congressional Medals). No other cords, stoles, leis, or embellishments of any kind may be worn.

The caps and gowns will belong to the graduates following the ceremony. Please contact us if further clarification is needed.

Reserving Seats

Upon checking in on graduation day, each graduate will be given 12 Reserved Seating signs with their family name on them. Reserved signs are handed out on a first come, first served basis. If you want good seats, aim to be on time! Graduates may have more than 12 guests attend graduation, but those in excess of the 12 reserved seats must sit in the general seating area.

When placing signs, please do not leave space between your reserved seats and another reservation block. We expect a standing-room-only crowd!
