Although it still plans on graduating the class of 2020 on time, Conroe ISD has finalized alternative summer dates for graduation, according to a April 13 Facebook livestream by Superintendent Curtis Null.
Null said the district plans to return to campuses in time to have graduation as planned, with ceremonies beginning May 21. The only change is with Caney Creek High School, which has been moved to May 26 at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavillion due to Sam Houston University canceling all graduations. These graduations may be altered with reduced or no audiences, which Null said is not ideal.
“If we can have graduation in any way in May, we will have it in May,” Null said. “Because we have no idea what the future will hold.”
If restrictions on groups are still in effect, Null said the district has already made plans to hold graduations June 11-15. He said although some students may not be able to attend due to commitments to the military or their colleges, “this is the better option than just canceling.”
