The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced this week that people who are fully vaccinated may forgo masks in most public spaces. Despite the announcement, Downs said South Western High School will still mandate masks for the ceremony.
Spring Grove Area High School also is hosting one traditional graduation ceremony with masking and social distancing requirements, but Principal Dave Dietrich said that could change if state guidance continues to relax. Dietrich said he is happy that his school can offer an in-person ceremony for its graduates, given that at the start of the year, many education officials doubted whether any school buildings would even keep their classrooms open.

Several Pottawatomie County schools will host in-person graduation ceremonies for the Class of 2021 in May.
Shawnee Public Schools announced a change to the date and location of Shawnee High School s Class of 2021 graduation ceremony from May 13 at the FireLake Arena to May 17 at Jim Thorpe Stadium at 7:30 p.m.
According to Superintendent Dr. April Grace, the district decided to make the change after speaking with SHS administrators and senior class sponsors. This change is an effort to give all our seniors and their families an in-person graduation experience that will accommodate the least restriction of crowd size, Grace said.
She explained the district would like to give seniors the opportunity to safely have more of their family members present at the ceremony.
