Graduation Update: Covid Protocols - The Weather Forecast for
Sunday Looks Great!!!
Parents, Seniors, and Families - With the new outdoor mandate protocols being lifted as of June
1st, we will be able to have anyone who wants to attend our outdoor graduation ceremony on
Sunday June 6th. Masks will not be required and we will not have to limit the number of people
in attendance! GREAT NEWS!
With that said, if we had to move graduation indoors due to bad weather, we would have to limit
capacity for an indoor event and we would have to mask up. With the current guidelines, we
could grant each graduate 3 tickets to attend the indoor graduation and 3 more tickets per
graduate for other family members to watch the streamed live version of graduation in our
student center or auditorium. (Please note, the streamed live version of graduation can be viewed
anywhere with wifi connection). These numbers would put us at 50% capacity in each of these
locations. Let’s just hope and keep our fingers crossed for an outdoor graduation!!!!

Baccalaureate Program:
This program has been created by our senior class officers and sponsored by our local community to
celebrate the graduates with song, scripture readings, and speeches. All performers are representatives
of the Class of 2021. This program is optional for all graduating seniors, but we would encourage all
graduates to consider attending and participating as a part of the Sunday Graduation festivities!
Rehearsal is Friday June 4th for all participants at 9:30am in the auditorium and the program is on
Sunday June 6th at 2:30pm in the auditorium.
Fall Sports Program:
We are looking for candid pictures from last fall's sports (football, cheer, cross county,
women's swim, women's golf, men's soccer, volleyball, men's tennis) to possibly include in the 2021
Fall Sports Program which will be sold at home Varsity football games this fall.
