Since 1994 Kansas Home Educators has proudly sponsored a high school graduation ceremony for homeschoolers which is a memorable day for graduates, family & friends. It is a formal, traditional, & God-honoring event with distinctly Christian elements.

A graduation committee of 2 coordinators & 4 chairmen oversee & direct the details of this important event with the assistance of parents of the graduates. Much of the preparation for KSHE Graduations is accomplished through committees. Each family is required to participate on one of the support teams. Assignments for most support teams are made by mid-February.

Costs

Participation fee (mandatory) — covers costs of the facility for meetings, rehearsals, and ceremony, printing, student video production, scrapbooks, etc. This fee is $185.00 ($165 for current KSHE members). The participation fee includes digital copies of all ceremony photos and graduate with parents after diploma presentation. Other items available for purchase include caps and gowns, tassels, honor cords, diplomas, and ceremony DVDs. These expenses are in addition to the participation fee and do not include your own costs for senior pictures and announcements. Senior Pictures

Senior pictures are best taken in the fall while seniors still have some color from the summer sunshine. You can take these yourself with a quality camera or have them professionally taken.

Graduation Announcements

Graduation announcements are available from a variety of local sources: Hallmark Cards, Jostens, Maxine's, Party City, most bridal shops, Copy Max, Kinko’s and Quik Print. You can also create your own announcements and print them or have them printed (shutterfly.com, zazzle.com, lilduckduck.com, etc.).

Diplomas

You'll need a diploma for your student for the diploma presentation portion of the ceremony. You can create or purchase one. Diplomas and covers can be purchased from Jostens and HSLDA (hslda.org) in addition to other online sources. KSHE places a group order with Jostens which has created a custom homeschool diploma and cover for KSHE that can be ordered when you place your graduation order online.

Cap and Gown

All graduation participants must wear a solid color cap and gown. These can be borrowed or purchased from the source of your choice. KSHE places a group order with Jostens which features a number of colors to choose from & can be ordered online when you place your graduation order.
