Jostens was on campus in February to deliver orders that were placed before the February 18th deadline. We still have several orders that have not been picked up in the front office.


If you have not ordered your graduation announcements and or cap and gown, please click here to place your order. All orders after Senior Event Delivery will incur an individual shipping charge and will be sent directly to your home address. Individual reminders have been delivered to those who have not ordered. Email reminders will also be sent home.


The only items required for graduation are a gown, cap, stole, and tassel. While it is possible to borrow a cap & gown, please remember both the stole and tassel have the year on them. Also, gowns are fitted by height and weight. Items can be ordered individually on the Jostens website.


  • Graduates may only wear FISD-approved graduation attire and regalia including the campus-approved cap and gown and campus-approved cords and stoles.

  • Non-FISD approved stoles, leis, cords and/or any other non-FISD-approved outerwear are not permitted at graduation ceremonies.

  • Caps and/or other FISD-approved regalia and/or attire may not be decorated or amended in any way that disrupts uniformity amongst graduates. For example, a student may wear their personal jewelry or a small pendant, but may not wear a jacket, shawl, etc. that would make the student appear distractingly dissimilar to their graduating peers

  • All items that don’t conform to the above guidelines will be confiscated when students check in at the Ford Center, and it is the responsibility of the student to collect those items during diploma pick-up immediately following commencement ceremonies. FISD is not responsible for lost or stolen items.


If you have any questions, please call the Jostens office at 214-383-9502.

Graduation Transportation & Tickets

Due to the Friday traffic, all graduates of Lebanon Trail & Wakeland HS will be required to ride the bus to graduation (Not from). More details will follow as we come closer to the big day!


Graduation plans are underway with the Ford Center. Seating availability for this year's setup will allow us to provide 12 tickets per graduate.


Graduation Tickets and Cords will be passed out to students at graduation rehearsal on May 15th.
