In the interest of the health and safety of our students and our guests, we are currently planning to hold graduation in the high school auditorium at 7p.m.
Two guests for each student will be able to be accommodated in the auditorium with two to three additional guests in air conditioned rooms in the high school with a live feed.
Family and friends will also be able to watch the ceremony at home on channel 28 (FIOS) or channel 964 (Comcast). The feed will also be accessible through Hilltopper TV on the Summit Public Schools website.
We will do a final check and determination tomorrow morning to see if the forecast has changed, but an inside graduation is our current plan.
