AISD celebrates the class of 2020
Thursday, June 11, 2020 by Tai Moses
Austin ISD will hold virtual graduation ceremonies for seniors on Monday, June 15, and Tuesday, June 16, aired on AISD.TV and the district’s Facebook page. A district news release promises that the virtual ceremonies “will showcase many of the same things as traditional graduation ceremonies including speeches from the principal, superintendent, valedictorian and salutatorian.” The real fun is on June 23-25 when graduates will get the opportunity to experience in-person graduation walks in caps and gowns, to collect their diplomas on an outdoor stage in front of families and friends. In observance of social distancing protocols, graduates will be assigned staggered times to arrive and each graduate may invite four guests from the same household. Find the location and schedule for in-person graduation walks here.
