After extensive work and close collaboration with state and local health officials, we have not received clearance to hold our tentative Class of 2020 events currently scheduled for the month of July. The safety of our students will always remain our top priority, and without the support of these health officials we simply cannot proceed as scheduled. While we held out hope that we could provide these culminating events for our students, our attention will now turn to the reopening of schools in the Fall of 2020. Congratulations once more to the Class of 2020 and best of luck in your future endeavors. The updated Class of 2020 events calendar is attached.
