MCLENNAN COUNTY, Texas — A letter from Midway High School Principal Alison Smith was sent to seniors, parents and staff Thursday to announce that in-person graduation will be held on Friday, June 5 at 8 p.m.
On Tuesday evening, the Texas Education Agency announced permission for outdoor graduation ceremonies to be held after June 1. Graduation was originally scheduled for May 23.
After Smith met with student representatives from the senior class to discuss graduation options and preferences, the consensus was to host something on the original graduation date May 23.
Midway is going to host a senior walk at Midway High School on Friday, May 22 at 6 p.m. to honor the original graduation date weekend.
Both events will require safety plans based on COVID-19 restrictions. Smith said social distancing is a major factor that will require limits to the number of guests possible at graduation
Smith highly recommended that plans are made for only immediate family to attend the ceremony and plan for extended family to watch a live stream from home. Details on the senior walk and graduation ceremony are coming soon.
"Thank you all for your support of our senior class and Midway staff in these difficult times," Smith said.
