Promoting from 8th grade is a big deal! Some of our students may not be able to experience higher education. 
 
Our students have worked so hard during difficult times to move to the next level of their lives, the gown is a symbol of this accomplishment.
 
The hope is to inspire our students to move forward to higher learning, no matter what the circumstance. Please sign this petition if you support having the gown as part of the 8th grade promotion. 
 
Together we can make a stand to bring back the cap and gown!
