Collier County Public Schools will be holding Class of 2021 commencement ceremonies Friday morning.
The ceremonies will all take place at 9 a.m. in each Collier County high school’s football stadium (Lorenzo Walker Technical High School will hold its ceremony at Paradise Coast Sports Park and special accommodations will be made for Everglades City School). Every graduate will be allowed up to four guests. Seating will be in the stands and/or field using pre-identified, marked seats to allow each graduate’s guests to sit together while socially distancing from others.
Collier high schools to host senior celebrations in lieu of proms
Collier schools are working with high schools and senior class leadership to develop celebrations in place of proms and other traditional end-of-year events. None of our high schools will promote senior celebration events as ‘prom’ because that would imply dancing and the option to invite a guest from other grades or schools, both of which will not be a part of these senior celebrations, Chad Oliver, a spokesman for the district, wrote in an email.
The events, which are slated for later this month and early May, are being planned by principals, activities coordinators and student government in coordination with the district.
