Parents and seniors, we wanted to reach out regarding our plans for celebrating our seniors and their accomplishments. For all of us, the graduation ceremony is a highly anticipated and celebrated event. Unfortunately, due to the current county and state health guidelines, we find ourselves forced to begin planning alternative ways to celebrate this milestone. As of today, it looks highly unlikely that we will be able to gather at Oak Hills High School for graduation as planned. The current state and county guidelines prohibit any large gatherings. We are hopeful that the California Department of Public Health and the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health will begin easing guidelines soon, and we will work to expand and personalize our graduation plans accordingly. Mojave High School, the Board, and the Superintendent want nothing more than to watch our seniors walk across the stage to receive their diplomas, and if that becomes possible, we will make it happen. In the meantime, we are working to put together a virtual, or video format, of graduation. We know this pales in comparison to the long- awaited traditional graduation, but it will serve as a memento of their accomplishments for now while we continue to monitor the health guidelines, stay at home orders, and social distancing rules associated with large gatherings. Again, if the State and County guidelines are relaxed, we will modify accordingly. Please know that our hearts go out to our seniors as they face an historically unprecedented end to their time in high school.
The video should be ready for viewing on May 28th. More information will follow regarding where the video can be found.
