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

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!
