Confirm Name for Graduation Program

As we begin preparing the 2026 Graduation Program, we are confirming the exact name that will appear in print. By default, we will print the student’s legal name (including middle name, as is on the birth certificate). If you would like to remove the middle name, adjust formatting within the legal name, or opt out of being printed in the program, please complete the name confirmation form by Friday, March 13. After this date, all names will be considered final for print production. Thank you for helping us ensure accuracy for this special keepsake.
