FAQ Who do I contact with questions about Junior Marshals? Maria Padgett, Junior Marshal advisor mdpadgett@clevelandcountyschools.org What affects candidate selection? *Class Rank. Students cannot control during which semester they are scheduled for AP or honors classes. Therefore the class rank is pulled from the end of the 10th grade year, which is the last time that all students were on an even footing. *Any student with behavioral violations, excessive absences, any suspensions or honor code violations will not be invited to become a marshal. *Junior Marshals must be able to attend all Junior Marshal events. If an initial candidate declines or is unable to attend both ceremonies, then the next person in line will be considered and invited. What does it mean if I am Chief or Co-Chief? Chief or Co-chiefs serve a special role at both ceremonies and will need to meet with the principal for further instruction. What should I wear under my robe? Marshals are expected to follow the same dress code as seniors. You should wear “dress clothes” that would not violate the school dress code. Anything that sticks out below the robe should be simple and dark. You should wear comfortable dress shoes. Do not wear any shoes that would make distracting noises as you move about (clip-clop). Tickets? When graduation is a ticketed event, Junior Marshal guests must have tickets to attend. In the past, 2 tickets have been allotted to each marshal. The allotment of graduation tickets to Junior Marshals is determined by the principal each year and is based on allowable occupancy of the graduation facilities, with priority going to guests for graduating students. Junior Marshal guests do not need tickets to attend the Senior Awards ceremony. The Senior Awards ceremony is an excellent opportunity for Marshal guests to attend without a ticket. As a Junior Marshal, what type of things will I do at the ceremonies? Marshals serve a vital role in helping the ceremonies run smoothly. You may help put out programs, greet and give programs to guests at the entry doors, help direct people to seating or run other errands for as needed to help graduation run smoothly. When graduation ends, you will quickly return to the “prep theater” and assist in seniors in returning their robes so that they may move through the post ceremony process quickly and return to their families to celebrate this great accomplishment. Dates and Times The dates and times change from year to year. Please check the school calendar and the agenda that was distributed at the initial Junior Marshal meeting. |
