Class of 2025
Congratulations on your senior year at Falcon High School!!!
My name is Alyssa Ramirez. I am the Senior Sponsor here at Falcon High School. My role during this milestone year is to help plan, coordinate, and execute the class events for the seniors as well as keep the seniors and families informed.
Senior Communications are sent out at the start and middle of every month. Please make sure you are checking your inbox around these times to stay updated about all things seniors.
Please review the announcements below for the needed and important updates for the school year.
IMMEDIATE DATES TO REMEMBER
SENIOR BREAKFAST
Senior Breakfast is Friday, April 25th, at 9 am. Our event will be at Flying W Ranch in Colorado Springs. Doors will open at 8 am with the event beginning promptly at 9 am and ending at 11 am.
Ticket Sales are CLOSED. Families who purchased tickets will receive keepsake tickets the week prior to our event (these or
not needed for entry; they are simply a memento). These will be handed out to students during school hours. If you/your
student does not attend campus, they can be picked up at check-in during our event.
FYI's for this Event:
❖ This event is our Capping Ceremony for Seniors and their families. This event is the kick-off to senior
season!
❖ What is a Capping Ceremony? A capping ceremony is the time where seniors will receive their
cap and gown, and in an honorary fashion, parents (or a person of the student’s choice) will place
the cap on the student’s head to signify their successes at Falcon High School.
Flying W Ranch - on the west side of Colorado Springs:
Address: 3330 Chuckwagon Road Colorado Springs, CO 80919 (This is 17 miles/40 minutes from Falcon High School)
❖ The suggested dress code for this event is business casual.
❖ Parking is on site and free to attendees. However, it is a dirt lot, so please plan accordingly. There is designated handicap parking at the front and transportation to the front entry for those who may need assistance otherwise.
❖ The projected menu for our breakfast will contain pancakes, eggs, and assorted sides.
❖ This is an optional event. Families and students are not obligated to attend.
❖ Students who do not attend can pick up their cap and gown in the Success Center beginning Monday, April 28, 2025.
SENIOR WEEK @ FHS!- April 28th through May 2nd
During the week of April 28th, Falcon High School faculty, staff, and underclassmen will be celebrating SENIORS!!!
• This will be a Spirit Week in honor of our graduates. The Spirit Days will be released soon to ensure enough time to prepare for our awesome celebration!
• This week will also contain TWO events: Senior Takeover and Senior Sunset!
o Senior Takeover: Do you have a favorite teacher or staff member? Have you ever wanted to hang out with them for the whole day?! Now you CAN! Senior Takeover is an event where students will sign up to partner with their chosen faculty or staff member. On Friday, May 2nd, participating seniors will be expected to plan, create, and execute a “lesson” of the day and/or aide in their daily tasks. This will be a
fun memory to create with some of your favorite people!
o Senior Sunset: This metaphorical senior class social event brings our year of celebrating Seniors to a close. Please plan to attend! There will be food, games, activities, and photo opportunities! It is 100% free to all seniors. No underclassmen will be allowed. More info to come!!!
o Just a heads up, Prom is May 3rd! Please contact mickenzie.mccluan@d49.org if you have any questions.
SENIOR CLAP OUT- Thursday, May 8th
On Thursday, May 8th, Seniors who are interested may participate in the Senior Clap Out. Participating seniors will travel
down “memory lane” by visiting all the elementary schools and middle school in the Falcon Zone. Visit where it all
started for many of our graduates! On the flipside, give the younger generations something to strive for!
• More information can be found here!

SENIOR ORDERS
For transparency, the only necessary or required purchase from Jostens is the cap and gown unit. They offer many, many items and many packages. These extra cost items are at each family’s discretion. If you are only interested in the cap and gown unit, please purchase it directly here.
❖You are welcome to use a gown from the Class of 2023 if you happen to know anyone who has one. With the gown in hand, you will only need to purchase a cap. These are ordered via phone: Office 719-633-8228.
❖Gowns used before the Class of 2023 are NOT the same and cannot be used for our graduation ceremony.
Cap and gowns will first be distributed at Senior Breakfast. After the event, cap and gowns will be available for pick up at FHS starting Monday, April 30, 2025.
Orders are accepted throughout the school year. As we get closer to graduation, items will cost more and it is likely several items will no longer be available.
