Since Guilford County Schools has cancelled its traditional 2020 graduation ceremonies, schools have still found ways to celebrate graduates.

The district’s 28 high schools have been holding “drive-thru” recognitions to honor graduating seniors.

Graduates and families have been lining up (albeit in automobiles) at their respective schools for the past several weeks to take that signature grad photo, say goodbye to teachers and classmates, and celebrate their accomplishments, all while observing new social distancing guidelines.

GCS’ 28 high schools anticipate graduating about 5,600 seniors this school year.

We believe this is the best solution to keep students safe, while still giving everyone a way to immediately celebrate our outstanding seniors.”
