BLOOMINGTON – Seniors at Bloomington High School won’t get a traditional graduation ceremony this spring, but there will be an opportunity this winter.
According to a District 87 Facebook post, BHS will offer a traditional face-to-face ceremony at Grossinger Motors Arena, with a tentative date of December 13. Seniors were surveyed and a task force explored every available option, with most seniors favoring a face-to-face ceremony.
In addition, BHS is hosting a drive-thru graduation event at the school on May 24 so students can have a chance to celebrate the end of their senior year.
District 87 said it will continue to make safety a priority during these events and proper health measures will be followed.
An email was sent to seniors and their families with more information and drive-thru graduation details will be shared soon.
