Special Video Presentation Scheduled For May 22nd Through School Social Media & Edmonson Voice: In-Person Graduation Ceremony Set For September 26, 2020
Darren Doyle, story:
ECHS Principal Brian Alexander released a video and an outline of graduation activities and ceremonies earlier today through the school's social media.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a standard graduation ceremony is not possible at the original scheduled date; however, the school is preparing a special video presentation that will be released through The Edmonson Voice on Friday, May 22, 2020 and available through other school social media and websites.

In an interview with the Edmonson Voice, Mr. Alexander wanted to extend an apology to students and families for the changes, that are inconvenient and unorthodox during this time.

"We're really sorry about the delay in our caps and gowns, our yearbooks, and even our diplomas," he said. "And these are reputable companies used by the school, but the virus pandemic has affected so many aspects of this. We promise that we will remain in contact with our students and their families throughout this process."

Mr. Alexander also said that although the actual diplomas are not yet available, school transcripts are available to all graduates that can be used for school admission purposes and job seeking.

"Of course, whatever you need during this time, we're just a phone call away to provide any help we can."

The following is the Facebook post made by Mr. Alexander this morning on the school's page: 
?ECHS SENIORS & PARENTS ?

GRADUATION
Please note that all decisions concerning graduation are based on the wishes of the class of 2020. A cross section of students were interviewed and their thoughts were used to create a survey that, to date, all but 4 seniors have responded to. Our decisions are based on their wishes.

CAPS/GOWNS and DIPLOMAS
These are backlogged by the company who supplies these to us due to COVID shutdown. As soon as these come in, the High School will contact Seniors about a pick-up time and date. A final transcript and letter will be supplied to every senior that needs a diploma date for jobs, school admission, etc. available at the school on May 26th, due to May 25th being Memorial Day.

COMMEMORATION for SENIORS
There will be a billboard at the end of Wildcat Way with the senior group photo up soon. The artwork has been approved and the company is moving forward.

Banners with the senior group picture and signs with individual student pictures should arrive early next week. These will be displayed at ECHS and other schools in the county.

There will be a commemorative video posted on May 22, 7:00 pm on school Facebook, the Edmonson Voice and the ECHS Web Page for all seniors and their families.

GRADUATION CEREMONY
Again, BASED ON THE WISHES OF THE SENIOR CLASS, we have scheduled a date for IN-PERSON GRADUATION which is September 26 at 2 p.m. in the ECHS gym. Remember we must be at Phase 3 of the Federal COVID-19 guidelines to have an in-person graduation. If we have not reached stage 3 by Sept. 26, we have alternate dates of Oct. 24 and Dec. 19th as voted on by the senior class.

Again, this is what our seniors have asked for.

SENIORS, we love you and miss you.
