For the ceremony, which took place at the United Palace Theater in Washington Heights, the teen wore a long white dress under a bright red graduation gown, open-toed sandals, and her long hair down.
This marks another example of Suri choosing to use her mother’s middle name instead of her father’s last name, Cruise.
On Saturday, Cruise was spotted attending Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, according to Eastern Time.
Despite her father’s absence, Suri appeared surrounded by her loved ones and classmates, with whom she could be seen exchanging friendly hugs after the ceremony.
Suri’s high school is LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, often referred to simply as LaGuardia, which is a public high school that specializes in teaching visual arts and performing arts.
Suri, whose famous father was not involved in her upbringing, has always been determined to forge her own path.
She applied to a number of universities and the artistic teenager was “leaning” towards studying fashion.
The Carnegie Mellon School of Design is one of the oldest and highest-ranked programs in the country.
Now, with acceptance into its hallowed halls, a remarkably stylish mother, and a wardrobe said to be worth five million dollars, Suri is off to the best possible start if that’s the path she’s chosen.
A source told DailyMail.com: ‘She is a smart girl and is developing into a very intelligent mature young woman. She has a very close group of loyal friends and knows exactly where she is coming from.
Suri and Katie were seen sharing a sweet hug outside the prestigious United Palace Theater in Manhattan.
For the special occasion, her mother, 45, chose to wear a yellow long-sleeved shirt and matching pleated pants.

But while Holmes will surely be proud of her daughter’s stellar accomplishments, sources say she’s “overwhelmed” by the thought of sending her little one to college.
One of them recently told DailyMail.com: “Katie is very proud of her, but she is also extremely overprotective.”
Perhaps not surprising given that, for the past 11 years, Holmes has effectively raised Suri alone.

Cruise, 61,’s only contribution to his daughter’s life has been financial and he has not been seen with his daughter since 2013, after Holmes renounced both the marriage and the Church of Scientology, the religion to which that Cruise is so devoted. .
Under their divorce settlement, Cruise agreed to pay Holmes $400,000 a year until Suri turned 18 and will continue to pay her college fees as well.
Under the terms of your agreement, although you may be physically absent from your daughter’s life, you have and will continue to cover “medical, dental, insurance, educational, college, and other extracurricular costs.”
But despite having little to no relationship with her father, Suri is, according to sources, a happy, well-adjusted teenager who has loved growing up in New York City.
