The 2025 RHS Alumni Legacy Photo will take place on Wednesday, June 11th at 6:15 PM (Rain date Thursday, June 12th). We ask all RHS alumni with graduating seniors to arrive by 6 PM and proudly wear your favorite Ridgewood High School gear.

The senior award ceremony will be at 7pm on June 10th and located in the Campus Center.

There will be two (2) mandatory graduation practices. Both practices will be held in the Campus Center.

An outdoor practice will be held on Tuesday, June 17th

An indoor practice will be held on Wednesday, June 18th

Both practices will start promptly at 1:30 P.M.

Seniors wearing tuxedos are required to wear a white tuxedo jacket with a standard white dress shirt (not a tuxedo shirt), and black shoes and socks (not included in tuxedo rental fee). Tuxedos must be picked up from Biltmore Tuxedos, located at 36 E. Ridgewood Avenue, after the indoor practice on Wednesday, June 18th.

In order to pick up a tuxedo, each senior must have a blue receipt indicating that the rental fee for the tuxedo has been paid in full. Blue receipts will be handed out after the indoor practice.

Tuxedos must be returned by Friday, June 20th, or there will be a $10 late fee charged per day.

Seniors wearing dresses are required to wear a white dress, preferably a long gown, shoes should be neutral, not a "color", so as not to distract from the procession. Heels are not recommended, but if any senior is concerned about heels on the turf field, they may go to the field and test out their shoes before graduation day.

Each senior wearing a dress will be given a dozen red roses to carry when they assemble in the Campus Center prior to graduation.

Students are not permitted to wear sunglasses or hats during the ceremony.
