Biographical Information: The graduate's biographical information should be included on the graduate registration form, and will be printed in the evening's program.

Family and Guests: The General Session and Graduate Recognition are open to the public. (The vendor hall will be closed during the General Session.) There are no restrictions as to number of guests, and no age criteria; however, we suggest that arrangements be made for young children who cannot sit quietly through a two-hour program.

Attire: In keeping with the importance of the occasion and its setting in a church, attire should be appropriate--preferably slacks, shirts, and ties for young men, and modest dresses for young women. Cap and gown are not required, but may be worn if desired (parents are responsible for acquiring these items).

Diplomas: Each family will furnish its own diploma (if desired), and the parents may present it to their graduate during the program. (Since there is no state requirement on what constitutes a homeschool diploma, each family is free to issue their own, and TEACH does not endorse or validate these documents.)

Speeches: Each graduate is strongly encouraged to prepare a brief speech (length will be determined by TEACH) as an opportunity to express thanks and to encourage other homeschooling families present.

Commissions to Federal Military Academies: Presentation of commissions to federal military academies may be made during graduation with prior permission from the TEACH Board.

Scholarships: Presentation of scholarships will not be made during graduation. However, mention of them in the graduate biographies is encouraged.
