The administration officially confirmed we get our in-person ceremony. It means everything to finally stand on that stage with my classmates instead of staring at a screen. We proved that we refused to settle for less than the celebration we earned.
By signing this petition, I am hereby pledging my allegiance to the cause of fighting for an in person graduation ceremony when it is deemed by the Centers for Control Disease that it is safe to do so. I further pledge to refuse to participate in any virtual commencement ceremony until said demands are met and a dialogue is established between the student body and the administration to determine how we proceed from here.
Seeing 500 signatures on this page confirms that I am not alone in my frustration about losing our final milestone. My heart is heavy thinking about the empty seats awaiting us, but your presence here gives me real hope that the administration will finally listen.

Seeing this momentum grow proves I am not the only one grieving the loss of a milestone I worked four years to reach. It feels validating to know so many of my peers refuse to settle for a screen when we deserve the real thing.

Graduation is a sacred tradition where students celebrate their accomplishments with friends and family. It represents years of achievements and the initiation into their next phase in life. Please take this into consideration.

Los estudiantes merecen una graduación en persona si hay tiendas y lugares no esenciales abiertos al público y con aglomeraciones de gente x que los estudiantes no pueden tener una graduación respetando la distancia y protegidos con cubre bocas

My son is a senior and my only kid. I want to see him graduate in person and if we are safe we can make this happen. This is an important milestone for all these kids! Come on, district, work with us on this!

The one thing that keeps me working hard against impossible odds is the thought of walking across the stage in person and live with my friends and classmates. Please don't take my dream away!

NHS CO 2020 has worked hard for the past 12 years, to have their graduation postponed because of a world-wide pandemic is one thing, but to have it changed to a virtual graduation is another. CO 2020 deserves an actual graduation, whether that’s in 2 months or 7.

This can be done while practicing social distancing. Admins need to get creative. Even if no parents are allowed, let these students walk. Go online for the spectators.

Hopefully we can have the ceremony! My Neice Brianna has worked so hard and like all the other graduates have been looking forward to a Graduation of their dreams!
