INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE WAS LAST EDITED ON MARCH 31, 2024.
Congratulations! Your senior year will be full of fun, exciting events and we want to help you plan for these memorable moments. Below you will find a list of guidelines for decorating the senior graduate cap for graduation. It is an option in McKinney ISD for seniors to decorate their caps with the local college, junior college, university, branch of military, or trade school the student plans to attend following graduation from McKinney ISD. This is not a requirement; decorating the graduate cap is completely optional.
