If gathering restrictions are lifted by Sunday, July 12th, graduation ceremonies will be held outdoors at each high school on Friday, July 17th at 7 p.m. Rain dates are July 18th at 1 p.m. or July 19th at 1 p.m.

If gathering restrictions are lifted by Sunday, August 2nd, graduation ceremonies will be held outdoors at each high school on Friday, August 7th at 7 p.m. Rain dates are August 8th at 1 p.m. or August 9th at 1 p.m. If in-person graduation is not possible, we are considering options for virtual graduation ceremonies."
