Graduation for seniors at Mountain Home High school is set for Friday evening at 8 at Bomber Stadium.
School officials say after surveying the seniors, an overwhelming number requested to have the most traditional graduation ceremony as possible. The school put together a plan, which has been approved by the Division of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). The plan was designed to provide graduates and families a memorable experience while also meeting the state guidelines for large venues and social distancing. Large venue guidelines only allow for a 66% occupancy rate in Bomber Stadium.
Superintendent Dr. Jake Long says they have several guidelines for arrival and entrance into the stadium.
Listen:
Everyone entering the stadium, including graduates, will be required to wear a mask. A few of the other guidelines include:
– Graduates and guests will be allowed to bring bottled water into the ceremony.
– Chairs on the field are not allowed to be moved, as they will be spaced out in accordance with social distancing guidelines.
– Graduates will not shake hands with school officials but will pose for a photograph, as they cross the stage. Masks may be removed only while the graduate is on the stage.
