Weekly Updates from Madison High School - May 18, 2020
Commencement Ceremony Update
As the possibility for a live commencement ceremony remains uncertain at this time, your senior class representatives support the planning and designing of a celebration on June 9th, along with every high school in the district, with the hope that a traditional graduation ceremony could be held at a later time. Our main goal for our seniors is to celebrate them in the safest way possible. With this in mind, Mrs. Seaton will collaborate with the senior class representatives to begin to plan a celebration for June 9th that will allow for each and every member of the Class of 2020 to be recognized in a way that can be viewed publicly by friends and family. If an in-person ceremony can be safely held before the end of the summer, Mrs. Seaton will share further communication with families, including specific details for our school site.
Details regarding textbook return, yearbook pick up, and cap and gown distribution will be coming soon. Please continue to check our new Distance Learning Website and to follow our Facebook and Instagram (Madison Warhawks) pages for updates.
