The Tuesday before Commencement, seniors experience a tradition-filled day on campus. It begins with presentations of their Innovative Senior Projects (ISPs), followed by College T-shirt Day, where they are visited by kindergarten and first-grade students. These young students present each senior with a handwritten letter of advice for college.
Seniors wear shirts representing the college they'll be heading to in the fall. Skirt painting, another tradition, involves students adding college logos to their uniform skirts. After a special lunch hosted by the Alumni Association, seniors attend the final academic assembly where senior awards are announced. The day concludes with the famous Hug Line, a heartfelt farewell to the seniors. Faculty, staff, and underclassmen form a long line that the seniors walk through, exchanging hugs, handshakes, and goodbyes.
Other senior traditions include the Senior Send-Off, an emotional moment that marks this cohort's final Morning Meeting; a special senior breakfast on their last first day of school; and senior prank.
