Both home and away bleachers will be utilized. Each graduate will receive the diploma in front of the home bleachers and then proceed through the “S '' on the 50 yard line and continue towards the visitor bleachers. Two photo stations will be set up by Art Rich so each student may be seen if families are seated on the visitor bleachers.
