To see more visit our website maroonechoesnews.weebly.com On Monday, May 11th the Mount Pleasant Community School Board of Directors held their regularly scheduled meeting. Amongst other things, they discussed graduation plans for the Class of 2020. High School Principal Todd Lichety confirmed that the date for the senior graduation ceremony will be June 27th. If the social distancing guidelines have been lifted by June 27th then they will have an evening graduation ceremony at 7 PM on the field at Mapleleaf Athletic Complex. This is a firm date according to Mr. Lichety. If social distancing guidelines are still in place by June 27th then there will be a different setup at the high school. The alternative plan would look like this: ceremonies would start at 9:00 in the morning. 30 students at a time with their family would be spread out in the high school commons. They would then take one student and their family into the library media center for a private ceremony. They would announce themselves and walk across the stage to receive their diploma and then take pictures. While they are waiting, prerecorded graduation speeches will be playing on a loop in the commons area. “It allows the parents to see them get their diploma,” said Mr. Lichety. The traditional Senior Awards Ceremony will be held electronically on June 3rd. The high school is able to do this with the help of Jostens, who has designed a 1,000 person Zoom session that has the ability to be broadcast and viewed live. There currently is no time set for the event however it will be during the evening. On Sunday, May 17th at 2:30 PM the high school is holding a drive by parade for the seniors who were scheduled to graduate that day. A group of senior parents have arranged to have yard signs made for each senior. The signs will be placed along the high school drive. There will also be teachers lined up in the circle drive to wave at the seniors and say goodbye. “That’s the day that they were supposed to graduate so we wanted to do something special for them,” said Mr. Lichety.
