Graduation
We want to share with all members of the Class of 2020 that the official graduation ceremonies across all Scottsdale Unified School District (SUSD) high schools will be  delayed into the summer, until such time that it is safe to host a traditional, in-person  ceremony. This decision was made in conjunction with the Student Advisory Board and
the responses received from the student survey they administered to the Class of 2020.
However, we do not want to let what would have been graduation day, May 21, pass
without honoring the Class of 2020. All SUSD high schools will be hosting a graduation
event for each campus at the originally scheduled time of graduation. This event will mimic what the traditional ceremony would look like, though it will consist of pre-recorded
segments produced into a single video. The event for each high school will be
personalized for each high school. The video will first be made available online at the
scheduled time of graduation, and then shared more widely online.  - last updated 5/10/20 by SUSD
