“While we must follow safety precautions due to the ongoing global pandemic, it is our plan to accommodate the desire of our students to the extent possible,” Superintendent Dr. Bob Hill said.

The graduates were divided into three groups, according to their last name, with the three separate ceremonies. Multiple ceremonies allowed for proper social distancing and for invited guests.

The ceremonies were initially planned for outdoors but were moved inside due to the cool weather. Still, the seniors were able to experience a closer to normal ceremony than last year’s class. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Class of 2020 graduated in individual ceremonies over several days.
