Valley City  (CSi)  Valley City Public Schools Superintendent Josh Johnson has informed the community about the Valley City High School special graduation ceremony.

He says, “Our Senior Class of 2020 will be graduating at a special ceremony on Thursday, June 11th at Hanna Field beginning at 7:00pm. We are very excited to be able to honor this special group of 84 seniors and provide them with a very memorable and deserving ceremony.

A reason why we decided to delay the graduation ceremony to June was the belief that we would be able to allow a larger group to assemble for this program.  Governor Burgum  had  announced new guidelines outlining increased attendance for larger gatherings and therefore we will be able to increase the number of attendees per graduate.”  (State Guideline Increased to 75% of Seating Capacity with maximum of 500 attendees).

The graduation is closed to the public, however the graduates have the opportunity to invited a limited number of guest to attend.

The ceremony will be live streamed.

Safe seating arrangements have been established, under the state guidelines for social distancing, and other protective measures will be in place.
