About the Senior Fee

The 2024-25 Senior Fee is $100.

The Senior Fee pays for items related to graduation: gown, cap, stole, tassel, diploma, diploma cover, Civic Center parking, graduation supplies, programs, the graduation ad in the Tallahassee Democrat, and a Celebration event. It also covers other expenses related to the Senior Class.

This fee MUST be paid before paying for the Senior Trip.

Partial payments can be made, but the full amount is due by March 1, 2025.

Pay Ms. Green in room 312 or Mrs. Walker at the front desk. We accept cash, money orders, or checks (payable to Godby High School).

About Graduation

Graduation Requirements for Ceremony Participation

Participation in the graduation ceremony is a privilege, not a right. In order to participate in graduation activities, seniors are required to meet all statutory, school board and school requirements and participate in the mandatory graduation rehearsal.

Graduation Recognitions

During the ceremony, and within the printed program, we will recognize students graduating with honors. We will use the student's cumulative weighted GPA as calculated on the 7th-semester report card. Note- We do not round up.

a Valedictorian (highest GPA)

a Salutatorian (second highest GPA)

Summa Cum Laude (4.4 and higher) - gold cord

Magna Cum Laude (4.25 - 4.399) - silver cord

Cum Laude (4.0 - 4.249)- bronze cord

Commended Scholars (3.5 - 3.999) - white cord

Additionally, students may wear a cord/pin if they meet the specific criteria for the honor:
