(Atlantic) While the Atlantic Community School district still plans to have an in-person graduation ceremony on July 19, for the class of 2020, a commencement ceremony will be conducted as originally scheduled for Sunday, May 24 at 2:00 p.m. and will take place via a digital format provided by Jostens.
Atlantic High School Principal Heather McKay says the ceremony will be archived on the school district Facebook and web page, at 2 PM on Sunday, May 24. McKay said District personnel considered many options for electronic graduation and believe this is the most personable.
“We want to make sure these seniors get special recognition because they’ve worked so hard,” said McKay. “We’re battling and putting positive energy out there to celebrate them the best we can.”
McKay seniors and a maximum of four guests will sign up for a 20-minute time slot. The graduate will cross the auditorium stage wearing his/her cap. Each graduate will hear his/her name read (this will be videotaped and photographed).
