Congratulations Ramos! You deserved it!

Not every high school. My high school's colors were two toned. Yellow and black were the colors of the Miami Sunset Knights.

Congrats Ramos!!!

I was more talking about the toga and funny hat (  ;D ) then the colours....  ;)

Well done Ramos.

Very interesting question so I had a hunt round. As I suspected it has a religious background like other forms of ceremonial dress. http://www.phildress.co.uk/london/origins.html
When I was at Grammar school all our teachers (we called them masters) traditionally wore a plain black gown while teaching. They only wore the 'mortar board' & other finery on special occasions.

Way to go Ramos..... I've got Six more years Seventh grade next year!

Well done Ramos

Congrats, Ramos. Just two more years.. just two more years..
