SANFORD, Maine – When it comes to the upcoming graduation of Sanford High’s Class of 2021, the goal is to have a commencement ceremony that is “as close to back to normal as we can get,” Principal Matthew Petermann said Tuesday.
That would mean a commencement at Alumni Stadium, this time on Wednesday, June 9, with graduating Spartans marching onto the field as their families and friends watch from the stands, with speeches given from the podium, diplomas handed out on stage, and the usual pomp and circumstance.
Even the starting time would be the same as previous years: 6 p.m.
“We want to give them something they can remember and walk away from and be proud of,” Petermann said.
