Students must arrive in proper attire as outlined above, carrying their cap & gown. Seniors still needing to purchase caps & gowns can do so by clicking on the Jostens Graduation Products link on the right side of this page or visiting this link: Josten's Website.
Make sure the gown has been removed from the bag and ironed if necessary.
Caps may be decorated ONLY with the name of a graduate, higher education interest, or branch of the military. Students may choose to leave caps undecorated.
Gowns are not to be decorated.
Traditional Hawaiian and Polynesian leis are approved for all students.
Only pre-approved stoles, cords, and sashes are allowed. Save other decorations for photos after the graduation ceremony. Seniors will get more information regarding how to get cap designs approved at a later date, as well as stole and cord requests for clubs, etc.
Unapproved decorations and/or alterations may result in graduates not participating in the graduation ceremony.

Napa Valley Unified School District will have Aperture Media presenting a live stream of the ACHS graduation. For family and friends that cannot attend but wish to view the graduation live or as a replay, share this link to the ACHS Graduation webpage.
Graduation is a formal and serious event--quite possibly the most important event, to date, in the lives of you and your family.
We expect and will enforce the highest standards of behavior from our students during this event. Any actions that detract from the ceremony, that undermine its high tone and purpose, will not be tolerated.
Please remind students of behavior expectations. See our ACHS Student Handbook/NVUSD/CA ED Code Policies. Students risk losing the privilege of walking at graduation if there is a significant discipline issue.
