Mayflower High School is excited to announce our Mayflower High School Class of 2020 Graduation Ceremony will take place on Tuesday, July 14th, 2020 at 7:00 pm in the Conway Expo Center.
In order for our graduation ceremony to take place, we must follow strict guidelines set by the Arkansas Department of Health and the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. To meet these guidelines we must take the following steps:
- All individuals in attendance ages 10 and above must wear a mask.
- Graduates must wear a mask at all times except when taking a photograph while receiving their diploma or speaking as part of the ceremony.
- Families in attendance will not be allowed to congregate with other groups in the parking lot before or after the ceremony or while in the Expo Center.
- When standing in line to enter the Expo Center there must be a 6 foot distance between each group.
To avoid long lines there will be two entrances/exits on the east and west side of the building.
- When the graduation ceremony is complete, all graduates and their families will be required to leave the Expo Center and parking lot.
As tempting as is to congregate there for pictures, the guidelines we must follow do not allow it.
- All graduates will be required to maintain a 6 foot distance from one another and faculty and 12 feet apart from all others in attendance.
This includes graduates lining up for entry to the ceremony, while seated, lining up to receive their diploma, and exiting the ceremony.
The family of each graduate will receive 8 tickets for the ceremony. Due to ADH and DESE guidelines and capacity of the venue, we must limit the number of tickets to 8 per family.
Unfortunately, we know this number will not allow everyone to attend who would like to but we providing each graduate with the maximum number of tickets we are able to.
Seniors will receive their tickets on the morning of graduation practice.
We are currently looking at our live stream options and more information will be coming when a decision is made.
We are excited to be able to provide our Class of 2020 Seniors and their families with a traditional ceremony to celebrate their accomplishments.
Our Senior Sponsors will be contacting each family in the next few days with more information. ...
