Hello to the Class of 2021 Graduates & Their Families,



We have an exciting announcement about the graduation schedule for the
Class of 2021. There will be an in-person ceremony in small groups on June
4, 5, & 6 in our own Jacket Stadium. Each graduate will receive four (4)
guest wristbands. We look forward to hearing cheers in the stands for the
graduates, but for all other fans of the Class of 2021, you can rest
assured that we will record each ceremony and have plans to make it
available as a livestream. There will be professional photographers near
the stage to capture each graduate walking up to and on the stage as well.
This is sure to be a memorable day for all and we look forward to each
Jacket graduate getting their chance to shine on stage.



In addition to a reduced seating capacity spaced out in pods of 4 guests in
the bleachers, we will require mask wearing, provide hand sanitizer
stations, and clean high contact surfaces between ceremonies. Although it
may seem to add to spirit to the event, we are not allowing the
distribution of any items (balloons, flowers, sashes, leis, etc.) at Jacket
Stadium on the ceremony day. Please help us keep the ceremony a healthy
environment for all by staying home if you feel ill or have recently come
into contact with someone who was feeling ill or who has tested positive
for COVID-19.



In future communications we will provide more details about health
precautions being set for these ceremonies as well as other information
regarding parking, ADA seating, wristband distribution, livestream,
photography, among other items.



Thank you & Go Jackets!



We will share updates directly via student email, the BHS e-tree, the BHS
