Letter to the Class of 2020 from Vance County Schools:
To the Class of 2020,
We hope that you are all were able to view “Be the Light: A Tribute to the Class of 2020,” a message of hope for our beloved seniors. As we approach one of the biggest milestones in your life, we want to make sure we celebrate you while also keeping the health and safety of everyone as a top priority.
Each of our high schools will host a drive–thru graduation event. Seniors will be assigned designated times, giving each senior their moment of celebration. Families will be given directives from the school on the process; however, each senior will be allowed one vehicle of guests to join them as the senior exits the vehicle, walks across the stage and a photograph is captured of this special moment.
Drive-Thru Graduation Schedule:
Vance County Early College – Graduation Date: May 21 from 6 – 7:30 p.m.; Rain Date: May 22
Vance County High School – Graduation Date: May 23 from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.; Rain Date: May 27
Advance Academy – Graduation Date: June 11 from 3 – 5:30 p.m.; Rain Date: June 12
We understand this is not the graduation you dreamed of; however, you are resilient and we will do all we can to honor and celebrate your accomplishments. If government guidelines and health regulations allow a larger graduation event to occur this summer, the district is committed to seeing that through. But in the meantime, we want to celebrate you and all you have accomplished now.
Stay tuned for additional information from your individual school, as well as the district website.
Go forth and do great things!
