Cap & Gown Headshot Photos

Also on Tuesday, March 17, all seniors will have a professional picture taken in cap and gown. Please make sure your hairstyle will fit underneath the graduation cap. Information for ordering photos with In Focus Photography will be coming soon.
Parking

A large parking structure at the college is available for parking. It is located at 8701 West Wisconsin Avenue, Wauwatosa.

You may also park in the WLHS parking lot and take a shuttle van which will drop you off conveniently near the REX Center. The van will run continually beginning at 9:00 a.m. and again after the service.
Tickets

Each senior will receive 10 physical tickets to graduation in their cap and gown package which they will receive on Tuesday, March 17. Due to the capacity of the REX Center, seating is limited and additional tickets are not available.

Children age two and younger do not need a ticket if that child will be held the entire time. If the child will use a seat, then a ticket will be required. If you bring a car seat in with an infant, a ticket will be required for that infant because the car seat will take up a space in the gym.

Seniors do NOT need a ticket for themselves.
Photography & Livestream

A professional photographer (In Focus Photography) will take pictures of our graduates as they receive their diplomas. In Focus Photography will send these pictures to your house several weeks after graduation. For any questions, E-mail infocusphotography7@gmail.com.

Please take any personal pictures of your child wearing cap and gown before and after the
ceremony or at home.

The ceremony will be livestreamed online for friends and family members who are unable to attend. WLHS livestream station can be found at youtube.com/WLHSVikings. A direct link to the livestream will be shared closer to the day. A recording will also be available on our website after the event.
Caps and Gowns

Seniors will receive their cap and gown packet on Tuesday, March 17, 2026.

Students will not be allowed to participate in the graduation ceremony without the graduation cap and gown that was provided for them. Decoration of graduation caps and gowns is not permitted.
After the Ceremony

To find your student more easily after the ceremony, make arrangements beforehand with him/her to meet at a specific spot.
