   After last year’s drive-thru graduation ceremony, seniors are scheduled to once again stride across a stage in front of their friends and families to collect their diploma.   

   The graduation date has been set for Tues., May 18, 2021, at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum. The ceremony will begin at 7 p.m. The number of guests each graduate will be allowed to invite has yet to be announced. Graduation practice will be the morning of the ceremony.  

   Seniors’ final day of school will be the Friday before graduation on May 14, following their exams. 

   Administration and class sponsors are still working to determine creative ways to continue with other traditional senior events such as the senior stroll, senior outing, prom, Top Twenty Banquet and Senior Recognition Night.
