The school closures forced by the coronavirus pandemic are resulting in the cancellation of graduation ceremonies throughout the commonwealth.
Murray High School adapted their commencement plans for COVID-19 by holding a “Senior Send-Off”, including a parade to honor the graduating class. Graves County High School is putting together a drive-thru graduation ceremony. The ceremony, slated to be held Friday, May 15, will allow the community to celebrate the graduates while adhering to social distancing guidelines.
