Maverick Pride on Display: Senior Yard Sign Deadline Fast Approaching

As the Class of 2026 enters the home stretch of their high school careers, a familiar tradition is returning to the front lawns of the Golden Strip. Mauldin High School has officially opened orders for this year’s Senior Yard Signs, giving parents and the community a chance to celebrate their graduating Mavericks.

The annual initiative, which serves as a visible show of support for the outgoing senior class, has become a staple for Mauldin families. This year, the school is offering a variety of ways to showcase “Mav Pride” before the caps and gowns come out in May.

Deadlines and Delivery

For families looking to secure a sign, the clock is ticking. The official deadline to place an order is Wednesday, March 11, 2026.

To ensure that every senior has their moment in the spotlight, the school has streamlined the distribution process. Once orders are finalized, signs will be available for on-campus pick-up starting March 25, 2026. This timeline allows families to display their signs throughout the busy spring season of senior walks, prom, and final exams.

The Maverick Pride Combo

In addition to the standard 24×18-inch weather-resistant signs, the school is offering a special Maverick Pride Combo Deal. This package includes:

• The Official 2026 Yard Sign: Double-sided and featuring the classic Mauldin High branding.

• A Wall of Pride Brick: A permanent way to leave a legacy on the school’s campus.

Orders are being handled through the MySchoolBucks portal, where parents can also find options for personalization—allowing them to include their student’s name or even their intended college or post-graduation plans.

Supporting the Next Step

Beyond just lawn decor, these fundraisers often support critical senior year activities. Groups like the Mauldin High PTSA and the Mavettes dance team have historically used yard sign sales to fund everything from graduation ceremonies to national performance trips.

With the graduation ceremony officially set for May 20, 2026, at 6:30 PM at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena, these signs serve as the first official kickoff to the graduation season.

Important Dates for Mauldin Seniors:

• March 11: Final deadline to order Senior Yard Signs.

• March 25: Sign pick-up begins at Mauldin High.

• May 1: Deadline to clear all school fees and debts to participate in graduation.

• May 20: Class of 2026 Graduation Ceremony at The Well.

As graduation season approaches, these yard signs offer a simple but meaningful way for families to celebrate milestones that have been years in the making. For the Mauldin High School Class of 2026, the signs are more than decorations — they’re a proud signal that the finish line is in sight.
