We believe that the upcoming graduating class, and the classes to precede us, should be able to decorate the caps purchased by us and our families. While we understand that the caps may be distracting and informal during the graduation ceremony, we believe that decorating our caps will be a lasting way for us to remember our time at our respective high schools. While uniformity and formality is important, individuality is as well. The decorating of the top of the caps will be a representation of us branching out into our adult lives and separating ways, but the base of the cap being the same as our peers, is a representation of each individual high school always being part of our roots. Together as the student bodies in Leander ISD we agree to conditions that there will be no foul language on our caps. We also agree to the condition that our caps will be finished by graduation practice in order to get our personal decorations approved by each of the schools administrations. Our neighboring district, Round Rock ISD allows their students to decorate their caps, and their implementation is shown to be effective. As we enter into our final years in Leander ISD, we look forward to a monumental year and working together with the district to make our dreams a reality.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many of you feel the same way about our graduation caps. This movement has taken on a life of its own because of your passion and I am just so humbled to be a small part of it.

I would have LOVED to decorate my cap for my graduation. Let students have fun! They have worked hard for 12 years.

I think we should be able to decorate our graduation caps to leave our last mark and express ourselves throughout our high school experience.

I just graduated today and to be able to decorate my cap would've been such a joy! I've been thinking of things to decorate it with since freshman year, but sadly can't because of our districts policy. If I can't decorate I hope the future Rouse graduates can!
