San Jon moving graduation

San Jon High School will move its graduation ceremony Saturday from its gymnasium to the San Jon Community Center parking lot on Oak Avenue in response to state restrictions regarding the coronavirus pandemic.

Superintendent Janet Gladu, who announced the venue change Monday afternoon, said the ceremony will be in the southwest corner of the parking lot at 6 p.m.

All participants must wear a facial covering.

Those who attend the ceremony must be inside their vehicle or touching it. No parade for the graduating seniors will be held.

“It is heartbreaking that our students are not able to have a traditional graduation,” Gladu wrote in an email. “I applaud each of them and their families for the patience and perseverance.”
