Adopt a Grad: Supporting Sioux City’s Class of 2025

Graduation is a time of celebration, but it can also be financially challenging for some families. The Sioux City Public Schools Foundation’s Adopt a Grad program aims to ease that burden and ensure every senior in the Sioux City Community Schools walks across the stage with pride.

With a $50 donation, you can cover the cost of a cap, gown, and tassel for a deserving senior from one of the three high schools in the district: West High School, North High School, and East High School. This simple yet impactful gift helps ensure that every student can participate in this monumental milestone, regardless of financial challenges.

Your donation is 100% tax-deductible and will directly benefit the Sioux City Class of 2025. The graduates will receive their caps, gowns, and tassels in time for the ceremonies, which will take place on:

Tuesday, May 26th at North High School
Wednesday, May 27th at West High School
Thursday, May 28th at East High School

Annually, about 900 students graduate from Sioux City’s high schools. After the ceremonies, students will have the opportunity to give back by donating their caps and gowns to future graduates, allowing the cycle of support to continue.

How can you help?

Donate to provide caps, gowns, and tassels for seniors who need them.
Donate your cap, gown, or tassel after graduation to be reused by future graduates.

Donation boxes will be located at the Tyson Events Center following each graduation ceremony on May 26th, 27th, and 28th. Throughout the year, donations can also be made at the Sioux City Public Schools District building located at 627 4th Street, or at any Sioux City Public High School.
