Contributed by Cincinnati Public Schools
Cincinnati Public Schools Class of 2020 might not be able to celebrate graduation during the COVID-19 pandemic the way everyone imagined, but that doesn’t mean it cannot be fun.
Join CPS for drive-through graduation parades.
How does it work?
- Students put on their caps and gowns, grab enough family to fit in a car, and CPS will celebrate them.
- All graduate swill drive to their celebration, and when they get to the front of the car line, they will:
- Hear their names called over the loud speaker followed by yells and cheers from teachers and staff
- Receive their diplomas, a yard sign and other goodies
- If you can’t join the parade in person, celebrations with be live streamed on YouTube.
- All participants will be expected to follow social distancing guidelines mandated by the Centers for Disease Control and the state of Ohio.
- Participants are asked to remain in their vehicles throughout the duration of the ceremony.
- Please be on the lookout for additional details from your schools, including arrival times, which will be alphabetical by last name.
