The Ottawa Elementary District board of education set Shepherd Middle School’s graduation ceremony on Saturday, June 6. It won’t look like a normal graduation ceremony because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Supt. Cleve Threadgill says it will be a drive-through ceremony where six students at a time are recognized and get to walk across the stage with families watching from the car.

Students will get their picture taken on stage and the whole thing will be streamed online. Threadgill says it doesn’t look like a more normal ceremony will be able to happen anytime soon and people would rather have some kind of ceremony sooner rather than later. The board discussed it Tuesday night.

EDIT: Clarified that the graduation date is set for Saturday June 6. The board of education voted on it Tuesday.
