Hopkinsville and Christian County High School will each host commencement Friday evening at the Stadium of Champions—capping off an unusual and trying year and a half for the Class of 2021.
Christian County High School will go first at 5:30 and Hopkinsville High School at 8.
School System Superintendent Chris Bentzel says it will be an occasion to honor seniors for their perseverance during difficult times.
Assistant Superintendent Josh Hunt reminds that each senior got six tickets to disperse how they see fit and the ceremony will be streamed on the school system website for those who cannot attend due to the COVID protocols.
It will be the first graduations since 2019 at the stadium after the Class of 2020 had a virtual graduation due to the pandemic.
