Eighth Grade Promotion Pin
The design
On the pin
A purple shield edged in silver tone. 8TH GRADE runs across the top, a graduation cap sits in the center, and a banner across the point reads PROMOTION 2027.
What it means
Many districts call the end of middle school a promotion or a continuation rather than a graduation, because students are moving on to high school rather than finishing school. The pin respects that wording while still marking a real step.
Colors and finish
Purple and silver are bold for this age group without looking childish. Change the shield to your school color; the banner can stay white for contrast.

More graduation pins
Can we use the year they will graduate high school?
Yes. Some schools print the future class year, such as 2031, so the pin carries into high school.
Promotion, continuation or graduation?
Use whatever your district calls it. The banner fits any of the three words.
When should we order graduation pins?
Approve the proof by mid-March for May ceremonies.
Can we order next year’s class too?
Yes. Order two class years at once and we change only the year.
How big is a 1-inch pin?
Slightly larger than a US quarter. It is the most common lapel size for service awards. Your proof shows the pin at actual size.
