Also to know is, do you keep your cap and gown?
Along with being far cheaper to produce, they’ve been touted as “keepsake” items that graduates must purchase — and, eventually, dispose of. Most graduates keep only the tassel from their hat, tossing the cap and gown as soon as the ceremony ends. After graduation, gowns are recycled and reprocessed into new product.
One may also ask, how much does a cap and gown cost for high school? Students at these schools typically pay $20-$55 for a gown, cap and tassel, either as a rental fee (the cap and gown are returned immediately after the ceremony) or for a “souvenir” or “keepsake” gown and cap.

Why do graduates throw their caps?
This is because Navy graduates had to serve their first two years as midshipmen before becoming full-fledged officers, and they needed to wear a different hat during this period. When the midshipmen finally graduated, a new hat was presented to the officers, and they tossed their old caps into their air.
