The school billed it as a âcar-mencementâ ceremony. PHSC hasnât had any in-person graduation ceremonies in the last year. But this was a drive-through ceremony, where graduates hoped out of their cars, got their diplomas from PHSC President Timothy Beard, and then smiled for a few pictures. About 150 grads took part at the West campus in New Port Richey. âI have to say, even though with everything going on, I think itâs awesome. You can still feel like you are a part of it even though the crowd isnât here and everything,â said graduate Warren Williams.
