π©βπ Graduation Information π¨βπ
Dobyns-Bennett High School is moving forward with plans to hold a traditional in-person graduation the weekend of July 17-18, 2020 (Friday/Saturday). As the status of health considerations and guidance from the Sullivan County Health Department become known as that weekend approaches, final details regarding time and logistics, including a mandatory graduation practice, will be announced.
Students who will not be able to attend a graduation ceremony in July due to previous commitments such as military deployments and post-secondary education are encouraged to contact the D-B counseling office. School administration will individually work with those students to plan a graduation celebration that honors their accomplishments.
