Senior Class
Winter Senior Class Updates - Class of 2024
Graduation will be held on Tuesday, June 4th, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. at DAR Constitution Hall. More specific information about end of year senior events and graduation will come out in the early spring.
Graduation tickets and additional ticket request
Each senior will receive five tickets for graduation. Families may complete this form to enter a randomized lottery for ONE additional ticket for graduation. We have a limited number of extra tickets and anticipate that we will have more requests than extra tickets. Families should complete the form by Friday March 1, 2024, to request an additional ticket. Families will receive an email early the next week, letting them know if they will get an additional ticket.
Senior Dues
Senior dues for the Class of 2024 are $100 and searchable and payable through the MySchoolBucks (MSB) school store. Select “School Store” and then “Browse all items”. Senior Dues should be the first item. You can also search “Senior Dues”. Senior dues provide for graduation expenses, programs for graduation, cap and gown, diploma, diploma cover, senior picnic, senior breakfasts, a senior class t-shirt, and additional expenses associated with the senior year. The senior dues will not cover the end of the year senior Kings Dominion trip. Not sure if you paid senior dues, contact Linda Szabo
Kings Dominion Trip
Our senior trip to Kings Dominion will occur on Friday May 31st, 2024. The cost of the trip is $100. That includes private bus transportation to Kings Dominion and back as well as a discount ticket to the park. Prices at the gate will be about $80 so this is a very good deal. Because we have to pay for the trip ahead of time we will only order tickets and buses for seniors who have paid by March 15th. We will not be able to offer any refunds after we have paid for the trip. (Tickets can be used at other dates during the summer if a student cannot go at the last minute).
Please enter your senior’s information in this form if they are planning to go on the trip. You can pay for the trip though this MySchoolBucks link.
Student Speaker at Graduation
If you are interested in being the student speaker at graduation then please complete this form by April 26, 2024. As part of the submission you will need to upload a copy of your speech and a video of yourself giving the speech.
WINGS program
The MAD WINGS Senior Experience supports development through the application of learning in community and business organizations.
Currently, seniors are applying for and securing their May experience! Students can career shadow, complete community service, volunteer at a Madison Pyramid School or complete an Independent Study. Seniors are reviewing their applications with their Advisory teachers for approval. (If seniors do not have an Advisory teacher, they are collaborating with Ms. Whitener and Mr. Rauenzahn on their applications.)
Senior WINGS Timeline:
- Friday, February 2nd: Final/revised applications are due to Advisory Teachers.
- Wednesday, March 6th: Seniors should provide an email confirmation from the business/organization that they are shadowing to share with their Advisory teacher by March 6th.
- The Advisory Teacher will grant final approval for the student’s WINGS Experience and give students a Field Trip Approval Form and WINGS Contract for parents to sign.
- Thursday, April 4th: Student/Parent Field Trip Approval Form and Contract is due to the Advisory Teacher.
- Monday, May 13th - Friday, May 24th: Senior WINGS Experience

More information about MAD WINGS can be found on the Madison website and in the Senior WINGS Handbook (students access through their FCPS Schools Google account).
Cap and Gown Measurements and Graduation Announcements
Seniors completed a survey in 4th period advisory in October collecting graduation gown measurements. Any senior who has not completed the survey should do so here by February 9th. Jostens is our vendor for graduation announcements and other senior items; you can order announcements and other products here.
Service Learning Hours
Seniors who have completed 40 hours of service learning throughout high school, and would like to earn a service learning cord to wear at graduation, must have their hours logged in x2Vol (Naviance > Careers > x2Vol) no later than April 19, 2024 to receive credit and get the black service learning cord to wear at graduation. Additional information about service learning is available on pages 17-20 in the JMHS College Quick Guide.
College Decision Updates
As you receive college admission decisions, please see Mrs. Geary in the Student Services Office or send her an email (@email), and she will update this information in Naviance. Mrs. Geary and counselors will work with seniors on the FCPS required Senior Survey later this school year that requires seniors to report their college admission decisions and request their final high school transcript to be sent to a college/post-high school program of their choice.
