Graduates report to Toledo Field at 5:00 p.m. They should be dressed in cap and gown. Students may wear flower leis during the ceremony.

Graduates may not bring any personal items or have any items in their pockets. Please make arrangements to safeguard personal possessions prior to arriving at the black top. To guarantee the safety of participants and to insure the dignity of the program, all participants are subject to search.

  • Graduates must wear their El Toro High School Medallion. This will be given to them when they pick up their diploma
  • No high heels due to the artificial turf

  • Nice sandals are ok.

Graduation caps may be decorated. All decorations must be school appropriate. If a cap is deemed inappropriate it will be switched for a plain cap for the ceremony.

Flowers and balloons are to be given to the graduate after the commencement exercises.

Students will be checked prior to entering the field to ensure that no foreign objects are taken onto the field.

Families: Air horns are not permitted and will be confiscated by security. Air horns that are used once a name is called will prevent the family of the next student from hearing their name. PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL.

Diplomas will be distributed immediately before the ceremony at Toledo Field.  Students that borrow a cap, gown & tassel will need to return the items in order to pick up their diploma after the ceremony. Returns will be located at the ticket booth. If you purchase a cap, gown & tassel you do not need to return it.
