Nothing stopped the class of 2020 from participating in a much-anticipated commencement ceremony on June 30 - not inclement weather and certainly not the COVID-19 pandemic.

Taking place at the St. Louis POWERplex (former St. Louis Mills mall), CHS seniors and District staff gathered as best they could while abiding by social distancing guidelines.

Considering the extraordinary circumstances these students have been faced with, they were great sports during the event - many of them wearing face masks and trading a hug or a handshake for a fist or elbow bump.

Caps and gowns were worn, endless photos were taken, laughs and smiles were shared and lasting memories were made during the event. Best of luck to each of these seniors as they embark on the next chapter in their lives - GO GREYHOUNDS! 

Take a look at this brief 'Behind The Scenes' video from the event.
