The tradition started last year, when COVID-19 guidelines prompted a drive-in ceremony complete with JumboTron and a car parade afterwards.
This year, the tradition continued with the addition of seating for graduates and families on the football field. Many more family and friends sat in their cars and listened to the program on their radios, while others sat on the hoods of cars or in the grass above the field.
