The ceremony was held in a safe manner that allowed students to walk by teachers, administrators and support staff members who applauded, cheered them and offered words of encouragement and good luck. After they received their middle school diplomas, the graduating eighth graders could have their photo taken by the school sign as a memento.
“The modified commencement was a wonderful way to recognize our amazing Hicksville Middle School Class of 2020 and to show them that they will always have a special place in our hearts,” Jorisch said.
