There is also one for kids who took Financial Mathematics but no idea what color.

No such policy at our HS, so if you actually experienced this at an MCPS HS graduation, perhaps it is unique to yours.

What??? You being part of graduation is not being left out. You getting the diploma is not being left out. The cord is suppose to signify an achievement of some sort.

Can he ask the person who gave him the cord?

They always list the cord breakdown in the graduation program. I'm sure that's already printed. Call the main office, bet they can tell you.
