NEW LONDON, Texas — West Rusk is the latest district in East Texas to announce a date for graduation.
West Rusk High School will host graduation ceremonies for the Class of 2020 on June 5 at Bruce Bradshaw Stadium.
Gov. Greg Abbott addressed graduation ceremonies during a Tuesday afternoon press conference. He gave high school three options for ceremonies:
- Outdoor ceremonies with social distancing between family groups
- Hybrid ceremonies with one student at a time photographed receiving their diploma
- Vehicle ceremonies with drive-by graduations, similar to the birthday parades that have become popular across the country
Gov. Abbott says at-risk groups, including people over the age of 65 and people with underlying conditions, should stay home and watch the ceremony online if possible.
