If you have or are a Homeschool Graduate for 2026 and would like to participate in the recognition ceremony, here are some things you can work on to get a head start on the Packet that you will receive at registration. All uploads are due by March 31, 2026.
Visual Presentation – NOTE: getting Senior pictures sometimes takes a while – PLEASE schedule early or choose an alternative for the presentation.
Please upload or email four (4) photos, preferably from youngest to oldest, designating one as a “Senior Picture.” (File size requirements: Digital photos – these will be blown up to put on the overhead screen; low quality pictures like those that are scanned may be too grainy. Most modern digital pictures will work. However, only files that are .jpg or .png can be added to the slideshow.) As a statement of being “in the world, but not of the world,” please submit only modest photos. The slideshow will be projected onto a large screen while the biography is being read, so they need to be good digital quality. If you plan a studio sitting, please do so well in advance, allowing plenty of time to get the photos submitted by March 31, 2026.
**Upload your .jpg/.png files to the CAPE-NM website, or email to Graduation@cape-nm.org after registration opens.
Student Testimony
Each student will submit a 250-word essay giving his/her testimony – or he/she can submit a 250-word essay telling what Jesus means to him/her. When filling out the application, you will be asked if excerpts can be used for promotional purposes for the ceremony. If you answer “no,” we will NOT use them.
NOTE: WE CANNOT IMPORT .PAGES OR .PDF FILES FOR THE ESSAYS – USE .DOC OR .DOCX OR SOMETHING SIMILAR, PLEASE!
**Upload your .doc/docx file to the CAPE-NM website, or email to Graduation@cape-nm.org after registration opens.
Student Biography
The biography will be read during the graduation ceremony. Parents, please type a paragraph about your graduate and include items such as awards, honors, activities, future plans, prayer, Scripture, or praise. Due to the number of graduates and time considerations, biographies should be a maximum of 69 words. Please edit and proof. CAPE-NM reserves the right to edit all biographies and cut out any excess of 69 words for length. If you need an example, please contact the Graduation Coordinator.
NOTE: WE CANNOT IMPORT .PAGES OR .PDF FILES FOR THE BIOGRAPHIES – USE .DOC OR .DOCX OR SOMETHING SIMILAR, PLEASE!
