2020 PHS Commencement Guidelines

1. First and foremost we must all understand that the health and safety of everyone in attendance requires some guidelines. We want to have this ceremony, but we also all want to stay healthy.

2. The commencement ceremony begins at 8PM at Aggie Stadium. In case of bad weather, the ceremony will be rescheduled for Friday, June 5 at 8PM.

3. In order to limit the number of people in the stadium, each graduating student will be assigned 4 entry tickets to be used by the student’s family. The 100 graduating students and expected 400 audience members and 40 staff members brings about 540 people into the area. In order to keep social distancing productive we cannot have more people than that in the stadium.

4. Entry into the stadium can begin at 7:00. All persons entering the stadium must wear a face covering throughout their time in the stadium. School nurses will be in the parking lot and will check the temperature of all individuals entering the stadium. Individuals that show a fever will not be allowed in. Any person that does not feel well should not attend the ceremony. Any person that is in an AT RISK category should not attend. The ceremony will be broadcast live via the district Facebook page.

5. The seating areas in the stadium stands will be marked with blue tape, all stadium seating must follow social distancing. Additionally, there will be 100 pair of chairs on the track, just in front of the stage area. Each pair of chairs will have a student’s name, these chairs are reserved for that student’s two family members. The chairs will be in proximity of the graduating student and will be in alphabetical order.

6. When each student is issued their diploma, they may return to their seat or they and their family may exit the stadium. Everyone is of course invited to watch the whole ceremony.

7. When the last person has been issued their diploma and the final student speaks the ceremony will pause to allow all the audience in the stands to leave the stadium. After the stands are empty, the family members on the track will be asked to leave the stadium. When the stadium is empty of family members the students will be dismissed by rows to meet their family in the parking lot or to retrieve vehicles from the teacher parking lot.

8. Sadly, the stadium cannot become a place to congregate after the ceremony. Please be considerate and safely leave the stadium parking lot as soon as you can after the cerem ... See MoreSee Less
