IMPORTANT ACT INFO:
Bossier Schools has been informed by ACT they are rescoring the state and district spring ACT taken online during the school day and removing scores from students’ MyACT accounts today. The spring ACT was administered by Bossier Schools the week of March 24.
ACT ensures student scores will NOT be lower than what was previously released. When scores are available again, composite and section scores will remain the same OR go up slightly based on individual student performance. ACT anticipates making the revised scores available no later than June 2.
There is no action you need to take. ACT will post revised scores on MyACT and resend scores to students’ schools. If a student previously opted to send scores via ACT to a college, university or scholarship-awarding organization, they will also be sent any updated scores.
ACT apologizes for the inconvenience and will provide updated communication to Bossier Schools once students’ revised scores are uploaded to online reporting.

To help maintain the dignity and safety of this important ceremony, all guests will be required to pass through open-air metal detectors upon entry. In addition, noise makers, balloons, and banners will not be permitted inside the gymnasium. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation as we work together to ensure a respectful and memorable celebration for our graduates and their families.
If you have not yet paid for your cap and gown, please do so immediately. The final day for seniors at
school will be Tuesday, May 5, 2026. On this day, caps and gowns will be distributed in the library
following the conclusion of second block testing. Before receiving a cap and gown, all seniors must be
cleared of any school fines, fees, or obligations. This includes returning all library books, classroom
materials, and athletic uniforms. Students who have outstanding obligations will not receive their cap
and gown. Once received, please take the cap and gown out of the bag as soon as possible to
allow wrinkles to release prior to graduation.
Graduation practice will take place on Thursday, May 14, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. in the PDHS gymnasium.
Attendance at practice is mandatory. Honor cords and stoles will be distributed at this time to qualifying
graduates. Casual but appropriate attire is permitted for practice. Please note that if a student does not
attend graduation practice, they will not be allowed to participate in the graduation ceremony. Following
graduation practice, seniors will participate in the traditional Senior Walk through the school. Students
must wear their full cap and gown for the walk, and clothing worn underneath must be appropriate—no
obscene or revealing attire will be allowed.
Graduation will be held on Friday, May 15, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. in the PDHS gymnasium. Seniors must
report to the athletic hallway in the main gym by 4:30 p.m. Students should park in the south side
parking lot and will line up upon arrival according to the order practiced. The dress code for graduation
is as follows: Girls should wear a dress, skirt and blouse, or pantsuit with flats or heels. Boys are
required to wear dress pants (no jeans), a white collared shirt, and dress shoes. Decorating graduation
caps is not allowed; any student who arrives with a decorated cap will have it replaced with a plain one.
Only school-issued academic cords and stoles may be worn, and all cords and stoles must be
approved prior to or during graduation practice in order to be worn during the ceremony.
Senior final exams are scheduled as follows: Third and fourth block exams will be administered on
Monday, May 4, 2026, and first and second block exams will be administered on Tuesday, May 5,
2026.
