The big day will be here before we know it! Graduation for the 2026 Warsaw High School graduating class will take place Thursday, May 21 at 7:00 PM. Weather permitting, graduation will be held on the football field. 

To ensure all seniors stay informed, we have compiled a list of important details, tasks and dates below. Additional information & dates will be added once available, so be sure to check back often! 

Attendance: Seniors must have at least 90% attendance to walk at graduation. This is a cumulative percentage for the entire 4-years of high school. Please see the high school office with any questions. 

Caps & Gowns: The deadline to order your student’s cap & gown was December 31, 2025.

Caps & gowns will be distributed to seniors on graduation day (no sooner!). The caps are for the graduates to keep - the gowns are a rental and must be returned to Ms. Seigel after graduation. 

Baby Pictures: Ms. Siegel is now accepting photos for the "Then & Now" slideshow that will be shared on the large screen at the graduation ceremony. If you would like your senior's photo included in the slideshow, please bring a baby or toddler picture to Ms. Siegel by March 12.The photo needs to be the original copy. A picture of a picture will not work. If it is a digital file, it can be emailed to Ms. Siegel at bsiegel@warsawk12.org.

Senior Recognition in The Wildcat & Yearbook: Stay tuned - in the coming months, Seniors will be sent a form to their school email so that they can be acknowledged in The Wildcat newspaper and Ozark Echoes yearbook.

Project Graduation: Senior parents have been hard at work planning a fun event for seniors to attend after graduation. Stay up-to-date with the latest on the group Facebook page: WHS Project Grad Class of 26’.

Graduation Tickets: Tickets are required to attend the graduation ceremony. A google form will be shared with seniors closer to graduation to fill out. Once that form is filled out, it is the senior’s responsibility to distribute the tickets. 

If you have any questions related to graduation for the WHS Class of 2026, please contact senior sponsor Ms. Siegel at bsiegel@warsawk12.org.
