These 2020 graduates ended their high school career on a high note -- literally!
On Saturday, June 13, 2020 at Kennett High School’s class of 2020 graduated from the summit of Cranmore Mountain via chairlift. While the ceremony was a private event, the school broadcast it online, so that friends and family could be present in spirit and experience all of the traditional speeches and announcements of awards typically presented at graduation.Here’s how it worked. Saturday morning, the 174 2020 graduates and their ticketed guests arrived at the base of the mountain.
Student were thrilled to be able to participate in any kind of graduation ceremony amid the pandemic. “I am so excited about this year’s graduation plans. I never anticipated graduating this way, but I am so happy to be doing it,” graduating senior Sophie Stimpson said in a press release. “I think the entire thing just really represents our community and our way of togetherness so well, which I think is really amazing.
individually faced over the years, we made it to the end of this chapter of our lives. We’re strong enough now to continue on in life and make a real difference,” Stimpson added. Principal Kevin Carpenter explains that holding the ceremony on the summit was actually a parent’s idea. “We were brainstorming socially distant ways to celebrate graduation outside of a virtual or drive by ceremony. A parent shared their idea of holding the ceremony at the summit of Cranmore and to us it made perfect sense,” he shared. “It didn’t seem like the alternative options would be enough for these students, who are already missing out on so much.
