GRADUATION
Due to Governor Reeves’s current Shelter in Place Order and
guidelines established by the Centers for Disease Control
(CDC), the Lauderdale County School District is carefully
considering the configuration and dates of our graduation
ceremonies. Specific information on graduation ceremonies
for the Class of 2020 will be shared with school communities
via social media and other media outlets when plans are
finalized. An official decision to either host the events on the
currently established dates or postpone until a later date is
being discussed routinely with our high school leadership. The
LCSD administration will continue to collect information from
Gov. Reeves’s office and the Mississippi State Department of
Health (MSDH) on suggested guidelines and safety precautions
necessary to host such events. "We want our graduates to
experience the recognition they deserve and for it to be
special, but we must also do so with safety in mind," says
LCSD Superintendent Dr. John-Mark Cain. An official decision
from the LCSD administration can be expected during the first
week of May.
