The following message was released last night from the Illinois State Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Carmen Ayala: "We have reached the page on our calendars where practically every square held some milestone – awards ceremonies, team banquets, parties, prom, and the biggest milestone of all: graduation.
We need to remember that no matter how devastating it feels to miss these sacred rites of spring, the health and safety of our students, families, and communities must remain our top priority.
Therefore, in-person graduation ceremonies of any kind are not allowed at this time. This directive extends to drive-through graduation ceremonies or events where students come in small groups to the school or another location for a photo or to walk across a stage. The Governor’s extended stay-at-home order prohibits group gatherings. I join you in hoping that events can resume in person sooner rather than later, but that time is not now."
Having received this message, I regret to inform you that we will not be able to take individual and the senior group photos before the parade. We will meet at the High School at 5:30 pm to line up for the parade. Please park in the parking lot and stay in your vehicle. We will get you lined up in the correct order from there.
Stay Safe, Stay Healthy, Keep Learning, Go Wildcats!
