DawnM Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Yikes! If I had needed to order a full cap and gown and tassel it would have been $281 plus tax! I don't remember what I paid in 2018 but I am glad we at least still have the cap and gown from my older son's graduation from the same school. I ordered the tassel and it was almost $50. Good grief! When I was in high school, the school owned the caps and gowns and only ordered the tassels. We borrowed them and returned them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just ordered dd's college one. $75 total for cap, gown, tassel, and honors cord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonfirmath Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Can you make a homemade tassle to put on the cap and gown? That's crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forget-Me-Not Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 It’s such a racket. When my son graduated, the school had loaner gowns, but asked if he wanted a medal for some or other achievement and then promptly sent me a link to pay $35 for the privilege.

Oh shoot, you know, that may have been why it was so high.....they said tassel and medallion, and I thought it was all one thing.....the medallion may be the high achievement award or some such thing. He has above a 4.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's crazy No, this is from a local high school and it will need to match the rest of the graduates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theelfqueen Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I bought my homeschooler a cap and tassel on amazon. I think it was $17 for the pair. I hate when the program requires something unreasonable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
