Graduation Ceremony
High Country Home Educators (HCHE) seeks to create a Graduation Ceremony that celebrates and recognizes the accomplishments of each graduate and their families, inspires a long-term vision for other homeschool families, and ultimately brings glory and honor to the Lord.
We look forward to having you attend the 2027 Graduation Ceremony. The ceremony will be May 14, 2027. Registration to participate in the ceremony is now open. Please log into your HCHE member portal and click on the Community to register.
Links are provided below to help you find all of the information you need for the 2027 Graduation Ceremony. Please read the Graduation Handbook before registering for the ceremony. If you have any questions, please email us at graduationcoordinator@hche.org.
Graduation Ceremony Talent Auditions Do you have a talented musician or vocalist in your family? Does your student excel at public oration? If so, we invite HCHE members to apply for an audition to perform at the graduation ceremony in May. Deadline to apply is April 6, 2027, and auditions are April 7, 2027, at 3:00pm in the Theater at New Life Church. To apply, email the graduation coordinator for an application.
Graduation Ceremony Volunteers It truly takes a community to create this wonderful event. We need volunteers for a variety of positions for our graduation ceremony; registration is now open! HCHE encourages all of our high school age students to volunteer - come and see what is in your future! Volunteer here (coming soon).
Cap & Gown and Accessories HCHE is committed to excellence in all of our activities. We require all students participating in the HCHE Graduation Ceremony to wear HCHE graduation apparel. All caps, gowns, tassels, and honor cords for the Graduation Ceremony are ordered and paid for through HCHE. Parents will pay for their student’s cap, gown, and tassel when they register for the graduation ceremony. Honor cords and other accessories will be ordered and paid for at a separate time.
