Graduation ceremonies are planned this week at Wabash Valley College and Mt. Carmel High School. At WVC, a face to face commencement ceremony will be held Friday night at 7 in the Spencer Sports Center. There will be a number of precautions taken and federal, state and IECC guidelines will be followed. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, only 500 people will be allowed in the Spencer Sports Center. In order to meet this requirement, this will be a ticketed event. In an effort to provide our graduates the greatest possible number of tickets to give to friends and family, WVC is limiting the number of people helping with the event, on stage, or attending for awards. Each graduate will be given 4 tickets to distribute as they would like. Graduates and attending parties will be spaced out per current CDC guidelines. Masks will be required for entrance into the commencement ceremony.
At the high school, seniors will participate in honors night on Friday at 7 in the gym. For the second straight year, high school graduation will be at Riverview Stadium on Saturday morning at 10. In the event of rain Saturday morning, the first rescheduled date is 7pm Saturday and the second rescheduled date is Sunday afternoon at 2.
