Marin Oaks High School and NOVA Independent Study
Marin Oaks and NOVA will hold a drive-through graduation ceremony at the Hill Education Center. Students will be lined up by student order number and will have an opportunity to have their photo taken at three locations: inside their car with a large frame outside their window, receiving their diploma (with a choice of remaining in their vehicle or exiting their vehicle and walking on stage) while listening to their teacher share a senior tribute, and then at the final stop with their family throwing their cap.
