After waiting two and a half months, the Mt. Carmel High School Class of 2020 is set to graduate tomorrow morning at Riverview Stadium. The ceremony is planned for 9:30 weather permitting. Principal Jake Newkirk says the early start was an attempt to beat the summer heat before the sun rises above the stadium and beats down on the graduates. Newkirk said organizers have been striving to make sure social distancing protocols are observed tomorrow…
Graduates are being limited to 4 invitees apiece who will sit socially distanced in the stadium. If it rains tomorrow morning, the graduation will be pushed back to 6:30 Saturday night and if it’s still raining then, the ceremony will be postponed until 6:30 Sunday night. MCHS graduation was originally planned for May 15th.
