ATLANTA — Atlanta Public Schools seniors will finally get their moment in the spotlight.
The school district announced that they will host live, in-person graduation ceremonies for all 14 APS high schools from July 20-23 at Lakewood Stadium.
The ceremonies will take place in the early morning and late afternoon to "shield guests from humid weather conditions," they said.
They said they will practice social distancing and other safety guidelines will be enforced during the events.
Senior year was far from normal for these students as face-to-face classes were halted in March due to the coronavirus pandemic. Proms, athletics and other events, including graduations, were canceled.
