Graduation 2020
Parade Route/Stage Sign up
Diplomas and Parade
At 7:00 pm Friday, May 22, 2020, the graduates will receive their diplomas and participate in a parade through the city of Adrian. WE HAVE ADDED A RAIN DATE OF SATURDAY, MAY 23RD AT 7:00PM.
- Please gather in your reserved (alphabetical) parking spot between 6:45-7:00pm. Each parking spot will be marked with a name sign for ease in parking. Graduates are encouraged to drive by the Assisted Living and Nursing Home on your way to school (6:30-6:45). Please honk and let them know you are there!
- Each family will be allowed one vehicle (in the case of separated families, a second car can be requested - contact Mrs. Koehne for details). All passengers must remain in their cars for the opening ceremony and the entire parade.
- The actual diploma distribution will be livestreamed to our Facebook page, so spectators can see it from their homes, cars, or along the parade route.
- For purposes of the parade, we would like to recommend a pick up if at all possible, with the graduate in the back. If you need help gaining access to a pick up, please call Mrs. Koehne to see if we can set one up. If you have pick up options for classmates, please call as well.
- Graduate must be in the front passenger seat or the back of the pick up. Absolutely no riding on the hood or roof of a vehicle (per local law enforcement).
- Families are encouraged to decorate the vehicle with the graduate's name in bold colors and font so people along the parade route can know who is in the car. There will also be a sign with the student's name at each parking spot that could be decorated.
- All music, announcements, names, etc. will be broadcast to your car through the local Radioworks radio station - 104.3
- After the parade ends, students/families SHOULD NOT return to the school to gather.
The parade route will be around the school, down Indiana Ave, and through the lower park and ball fields, but according to state guidance, all spectators MUST REMAIN IN THEIR CARS. Law enforcement has indicated that families could decorate their vehicles along the route.
