- You may only wear ONE personal item (like a lei)
- Graduating students are afforded the opportunity to wear ONE personal item during Wasatch High School graduation ceremonies. Personal items should not include representations of drugs, violence, or political speech. Personal items should be worn around the neck and cannot alter the look of the graduation robes in any way. As such, graduating students cannot alter their graduation cap or add something that drapes around and/or covers their shoulders. Please note, personal items that draw undue attention will not be allowed and students will be asked to remove them. The previously stated guidelines need to be followed, but there is not a required pre-approval process for personal items. However, If you have any questions or concerns about your personal item and desire for a pre-approval to avoid concerns prior to graduation ceremonies, please reach out to Kasie Payne, the WHS Graduation Coordinator.
