Why would you give anything? YOUR SUPPOSED TO GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL!!!
Whats next - $5 for getting out of bed in the morning?
Sorry - I'm usually not this cynical, but this is one of those ridiculous things that I can't wrap my head around. If you do the work the teachers tell you to do, you will succeed. Your not overcoming major struggles or adversity - your doing the work that's expected of you. And the reward for all that should simply be the pretty little piece of paper that says "Graduate". Cause guess what sweetheart - without that piece of paper, your not going to get as far in life as you may want.
Again, I apologize for the cynicism, but that's my $0.02
However, here is what I would do. I'd say "congratulations - build on this and put the education to good use"
