HUNTINGTON â Hundreds of local students will soon take the last walk of their high school careers, dressed for success in their caps and gowns.
Cabell County Schools will hold commencement ceremonies next week for Cabell Midland and Huntington High School seniors, both of which will take place at Joan C. Edwards Stadium on the campus of Marshall University.
Tuesday, May 18, was the last instructional day for seniors in the district. Graduation ceremonies are less than a week away as the students complete what they have worked toward for over a decade.
Cabell Midlandâs graduation is scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday, May 27, with the stadium opening to the public two hours prior to start at 4 p.m. Approximately 425 students will be given diplomas during the ceremony.
HUNTINGTON â Cabell County Schools Superintendent Ryan Saxe said there are no plans to shorten the school year, even after a federal disaster declaration approved by President Joe Biden would have allowed the district to do so.
On May 13, Biden approved a disaster declaration for Cabell, Lincoln, Mason, Putnam and Wayne counties in West Virginia following a series of severe winter storms that caused widespread power and internet outages in the region.
Due to the federal declaration, a West Virginia Department of Education policy would have allowed those counties the option to not make up the instructional days that were missed because of the storm.
