The district officially confirmed a full ceremony will take place for the class of 2020. I am currently coordinating with the administration to ensure all graduation logistics align with our requirements. We achieved the necessary outcome to bring the entire class together.
As some of you may know already, the administration of Eagle Point High School has decided “Due to the current limitations caused by COVID-19 and Governor Brown's Executive order limiting gatherings, Eagle Point School District will not be able to hold a traditional graduation for the class of 2020.” This means that we will have to have multiple mini ceremonies with limited people. This email left many students of the class of 2020 heartbroken because we left school for spring break and we never got the chance to go back. We didn’t get to say goodbye to our fellow students which is a big deal to many as we’ve grown up together and have been going to school together for 12+ years. Many students graduating in 2020 are first time graduates so this ceremony is especially important to them. A few weeks back the seniors of Eagle Point High school were given the option to push graduation back to the 26th of June Instead of the 6th in hopes the limitations would ease. Speaking for my class I know many graduates could agree that they wouldn’t mind pushing graduation back as late as August as long as we get to graduate get together one last time as a whole. Please show support by signing and help bring the class of 2020 together one last time!
The administration has acknowledged the volume of interest regarding our proposal to reschedule commencement. I have secured a meeting with the district office to present our plan for a unified ceremony. My focus is now on drafting the formal arguments that address their specific safety concerns.

These kids deserve to be together one last time! It’s okay to have hundreds of people cram into Wal Mart or Lowe’s ( enclosed building) however having the same amount outside (not a building) is not okay?

Two people per kid is NOT enough if you come from a blended family. Step moms/dads shouldn't have to miss out on a milestone they helped their kid get to because of a two person limit!

After 13 years of hard work these students deserve to have a graduation ceremony even if it’s in August or September. Most college kids do not go to college till end of September beginning of October so I believe there works be enough time for a graduation to happen without interfering with there next steps in there life. They deserve it

It harms nobody to push graduation back a couple months! Students worked hard for 12 years either taking AP classes or doing the best they can to complete their other classes to beable to impress their families and walk across a stage. We deserve it. And you guys owe it to us to make it happen.

Having 7 people at a time be handed their diploma and then ushered off Is no graduation! Students should be able to say farewell to all their classmates and end their 4 years of high school the right way.

I agree 100%! We’ve worked so hard to get this thrown in our faces, we want to to graduate with the people we grew up with through our school along with ALL of our family that has pushed and supported us no matter what. We deserve a regular graduation ceremony even if we have to do it it later on!
