I am graduating from high school in two weeks, and they are having a baccalaureate/stoling ceremony next week.
01. What is a baccalaureate/stoling ceremony?
02. What do you wear to something like this? (We have to bring our cap & gown with us, but they haven't told us what to wear under this.)

Dragonflymagic answered Tuesday May 31 2016, 3:06 pm: I have not heard of the term Stoling Ceremony. But I do know that many churchs will take a Sunday or day near graduation to honor all graduating persons from high school and college.
To what degree a church goes to do so can vary from the simple calling up of the person to the front while wearing their gown, or not and presenting them with a little gift and a brand new bible. Thats what my church did but they didn't call it a Baccalaureate ceremony.
THe words you choose to explain says 'they are having' and the only 'they' mentioned in the sentence is your high school. So I am assuming that your high school officials and electeda class representatives are planning this event and calling it such. So its better to ask them what this ceremony entails. Most likly its a form of honoring the graduates in a party form where you are required to wear your gown for a period of time. Depending on how fancy the party is, there may be requirement to wear dresses and suits beneath or maybe just jeans and tees/casual is fine.
Right after graduation for one of my daughters, the school hosted an all night supervised party with no alcohol and kids could board buses at the graduation hall right after the graduation ceremony to go attend the party but parents had to pick their kid up after the party at a designated place on the school grounds. It is good she asked about the ceremony/party because at first we assumed it was only for a couple hours of the evening, not the whole night. So ask and get the details.
