A Word from our Principal
Dear parents and guardians of the Class of 2020,
We have made the difficult decision to adjust our graduation plans. Based on survey information it has been clear that safety is the most important aspect of our planning but also a high priority is giving the students a graduation that includes walking across the stage and getting their diplomas. Based on this we continually review our options.
Both prom and graduation were originally scheduled to occur in St. Louis City. Due to continued uncertainty around if and/or when St. Louis City restrictions will allow entertainment venues to open, we have made the difficult decision to cancel Prom and change course on Graduation. Feedback has also prompted us to review the late July date. We have heard from many families whose students, due to military deployment among other reasons, will not be in town or available after June. Based on these scheduling issues our new plan for graduation will be to hold three ceremonies at the Affton High School Auditorium:
Monday, June 15 at 7 p.m.: Students with Last Names A-E
Wednesday, June 17 at 7 p.m.: Students with Last Names F-Mihigo
Friday, June 19 at 7 p.m.: Students with Last Names Missler-Y
Students will be allowed to bring two guests, and social distancing guidelines will be followed. Each ceremony will be live-streamed online to allow a wider audience of friends and family a viewing option.
With the health and safety of our students, staff, families, and community at top of mind, we have limited the capacity in the AHS Auditorium below regulated standards. Face coverings or masks will be provided and required to be worn while inside. The indoor space will be cleaned and disinfected, as well as allowing more than 24 hours between ceremonies.
Additional details and guidelines will be provided for our Senior families very soon.
