**Senior Salute is a special LASA tradition for graduating LASA seniors. Every year, PFLASA hosts Senior Salute the night before the official LASA graduation. Seniors receive their magnet endorsements from the administration, senior students perform a skit about life at LASA, the faculty give book awards and typically make a video for the students, and the seniors are given a memory book that contains each senior’s picture, quote and future plans. It's a very LASA-esque event and the seniors run the whole event. This event is for immediate family only. Dress is Dressy Casual (e.g. Pants, Ties, Dresses, etc). Typically, the event is 2 1/2 to 3 hours, not including the time that students need to be there early to line up.
***Graduation 2023: The district schedules all AISD graduations. Graduation is typically 2 hours after it starts. https://www.austinisd.org/graduation; There are no tickets required, no RSVP, guest number is not limited. Burger Activity Center is an AISD indoor facility.
****Project Graduation - all night lock-in for graduates only; Agreement that must be signed and Tickets will be available on the PFLASA website mid-May.

DIPLOMAS & FINAL TRANSCRIPTS
Seniors will receive a diploma cover at graduation, not the actual diploma. Diplomas will be available for pick up from the LASA main office over the summer. The LASA main office is open during the summer from 9-3, Mon-Th and we are closed the week of July 4th. Final transcripts will be processed over the summer. Remember once you graduate you will not have access to Naviance after graduation so ordering transcripts must be done through the Registrar’s office.
