Graduates have a 15 minute appointment, and can bring up to six family members. Those who attend are encouraged to wear masks and follow social distancing guidelines.
“We will video different stages of the event for each student and put these clips together to create a virtual graduation ceremony that will show all students receiving their diploma. The video will be posted on our original graduation date, May 31, at 2 p.m.,” said High School Principal Paul Hershberger, Jr.

There will also be a professional photographer on site to take pictures, and the school will purchase one 8x10 of each graduate for the family.
“Our goal is to preserve our graduation traditions and make the 2020 graduation ceremony as memorable as possible,” Hershberger said.
