ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - Dougherty County School System (DCSS) Superintendent Kenneth Dyer has signaled his intention to hold in-person graduation ceremonies for each of the district’s three high schools in May, according to a release from the school system.
The district canceled in-person graduation last Spring in favor of virtual graduation ceremonies because of Albany’s spike in COVID-19 cases. District leaders believe current COVID-19 case numbers support holding in-person graduation ceremonies, with certain restrictions and safety measures in place, the release states.
