Graduation ceremony rescheduled for Hiawatha seniors

(KNZA)--The 2020 graduation ceremony for Hiawatha High School seniors has been rescheduled.

The Hiawatha School Board Monday evening voted unanimously to move the ceremony to Sunday, June 28 at 2 p.m.

Superintendent Lonnie Moser said he believes the date allows the best shot to have a traditional graduation ceremony.

He said an alternative plan has been developed for the same date if they are not able to have a traditional ceremony.

Moser said it was the consensus of seniors and parents to postpone this month's graduation ceremony to such a time that it's safe to hold it and meets the state guidelines. Currently, under the governor's 4-phase reopening plan, mass gatherings of that magnitude won't be allowed until beyond June 15.

Baccalaureate services, traditionally planned by the Hiawatha Ministerial Alliance, will be held Wednesday evening ( May 13 ), but in a non-traditional way.

The prerecorded service will be broadcast on KNZA, 103.9 FM at 7:00.

It will also be aired later on Rainbow and available on YouTube.
