Zendaya is shaking up the class of 2015!

While we're used to seeing the Disney star killing it on the red carpet, the Shake It Up star is ready to sport a whole new outfit composed of a classic cap and gown as she completes her final days of high school.

This weekend, the 18-year-old singer kicked things off with a special celebration in honor of her latest milestone.

"Thank you for our little pre-graduation party!" she wrote on her Whosay account. "Still gotta take a few finals! #Positivethinking."

One person who couldn't miss the big day was Zendaya's former Dancing With the Stars partner Val Chmerkovskiy

After finishing second in the ABC reality series back in 2013, the pair has continued to maintain a solid friendship that was visible on social media.

"From the Met [Gala] straight to set to graduating high school," Val wrote on Instagram. "Proud of my lil Zendayachka. #Driven #Fam #Zendaya."

The big event comes just a few short weeks after the actress gave fans a preview of her high school portraits. Wearing a black dress with giant hoop earrings, Zendaya couldn't help but feel like a "freakin dork" when sharing her excitement over the moment.

As it turns out, Zendaya isn't the only star ready to say goodbye to high school textbooks for good. Kylie Jenner also revealed that she is set to graduate sooner rather than later.

"I do school everyday :) Again don't believe everything you read," she tweeted to fans. "1 more month."
