Cap & Gown packages
There are several Cap & Gown packages to choose from through Jostens. The basic Cap & Gown package includes your choice of tassel as well as the school medallion. Senior graduation Cap & Gown can be purchased online at jostens.com, or contact the Jostens Service Center at 858-486-2020 to order over the phone. Questions, call Jostens at 858-486-2020 or email our Jostens rep directly at [email protected]. Jostens online ordering ends in mid-April 2024, but MCHS recommends ordering early as their price increases throughout the year.
Families can arrange to borrow caps & gowns, through Jostens, at no cost or use sets from previous Mt. Carmel commencement ceremonies provided by an older sibling or friend. Please note that borrowed cap & gown does NOT include the tassel. You may purchase the tassel separately through Jostens.

How does my student receive the cap & gown set?
All cap & gown packages from Jostens are delivered to MCHS in May by the local Jostens reps, and the school staff distributes them to students as part of Senior Activities Week in June during the school day. The cap & gown units comes as a package with all four items including the mortar board cap, the gown, tassel and the school medallion. Each graduate's name will be on the package since the gowns are customized match student height and weight needs.

Jostens also offers a variety of items to commemorate the Senior year, and inform friends and family of your graduation date and time. Please order your announcements by December 31, 2023, to ensure a timely delivery.

Information for Parents of Seniors who are turning 18 before June 6, 2024
This also means that your student will be the sole person in your household receiving phone and email information from the school and school district as the adult contact. Important informational school communications will no longer go directly to parents/guardians. If you and your 18-year-old would like to waive the 18 year-old rights and assign the parent/guardian decision-making authority, the waiver for doing so is listed on our 18-year-old rights page for printing and signature. Please read more detailed information about 18-year-old rights, rules and procedures and the waiver on our webpage: 18 Year-Old Rights
