Where Tradition Meets Excellence
SENIORS: Seniors should report to the cafeteria at 6:00 PM. wearing their cap & gown. Please do not arrive prior to 6:00 PM. Seniors cannot leave anything in the cafeteria so arrange to have car keys, cell phones, etc. left with a parent or friend! PARENTS: PARKING LOT will open at 5:30 PM. GYM DOORS WILL OPEN AT 6:00 PM. Doors will close at 7:20 PM. NO ONE arriving after 7:20 PM. will be allowed in! Cafeteria will be open for the overflow at 6:00pm. Must be 14 or older or with an adult. Children cannot just be dropped off.
Each graduate will receive 6 tickets. Even children and babies will need a ticket. We remind everyone that for many of our seniors, this will be the most important night of their life and the ONLY time they will receive their high school diploma and hear their name called out in front of 2,000 people.
We do not have any extra tickets, but you may network with other graduates if you need more tickets.
Please refer to the monthly Senior Newsletter on Parent Square for up-to-date information related strictly to Seniors.

Order Your Cap & Gown
At South Sumter High School, we want to ensure that all our graduates are ready for their special day. To facilitate this, we have arranged for an online graduation cap and gown ordering system. Graduates and their families can conveniently place orders by visiting Jostens. Please note that all payments must be made directly through the vendor, as South Sumter High School is unable to accept any payment forms. We encourage everyone to place their orders promptly to ensure a smooth and joyful graduation experience.

Senior Resources
At South Sumter High School, we encourage all college and tech-bound seniors to prioritize their future by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This essential step opens the door to a variety of financial aid opportunities, helping to make higher education more accessible. To get started and ensure you receive the support you deserve, please visit FAFSA. Completing the FAFSA not only helps you understand your financial options but also puts you on the path to achieving your academic and career goals. Don't miss out on this important opportunity!
