In-Person Ceremonies
The in-person ceremonies will allow our students to experience the most important part of graduation – walking across the stage in their cap and gown to get their diploma – but with a couple of differences given the coronavirus. First, seniors will be walking across the school's football field or gym instead of the auditorium stage. Second, given social distancing requirements, our graduates will have specific time slots and will only be able to bring three family members.We can't wait to see our graduates in their cap and gown!Tuesday, June 23- Amelia Street, Cafeteria, 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Virtual Ceremonies
Each RPS high school will have a personalized virtual ceremony that we'll broadcast online at a specific time (see below for details). Everything from the Valedictorian's speech to the roll call of seniors will be pre-recorded, but students and families will be able to post congratulatory comments in real time via the virtual ceremony website. In addition, once it's broadcast, students and families can re-watch it at any time.
