Woodbridge Holds Open Graduation Ceremony This Saturday

WOODBRIDGE, NJ — If you are a Woodbridge Township resident who graduated from higher education this past spring — at any level, be it college, community college, a master's degree program or more — the Township would like to celebrate you.

That's why Woodbridge is holding a college graduation ceremony this Saturday, Aug. 1 on the field behind Woodbridge High School (next to the Woodbridge Health Department).

The event runs from 2-8 p.m., but the graduation portion will be from 2-5 p.m. and then from 5-8 the Boy Band Project will perform.

All the graduates who sign up will be called up to the stage and have their names read as well as a short bio (where they went, what they studied, and what their plans for the future). Mayor John McCormac will be giving out proclamations and let the graduates take photos with a class of 2020 banner up on a stage

This is the first year Woodbridge has done something like this. Mayor McCormac and Councilman Brian Small came up with the idea to reward local residents, and as a way to celebrate their accomplishments.

Graduates are encouraged to wear their caps and gowns, but if they did not receive them, they can certainly wear school apparel.
