Nixa High School
2020
Graduation
Due to anticipated occupancy guidelines and other restrictions on large events, the tentative June graduation dates are no longer available. Therefore, Nixa High School will hold the 2020 graduation ceremony on Friday evening, July 31. The district has reserved both JQH Arena and James River Church.
The exact location and time will be determined after reviewing occupancy guidelines in the month of July. We will plan to hold the event at the facility which will allow for the largest occupancy.
It is very likely that some sort of occupancy guidelines will be in place no matter which facility is used for graduation. Therefore, families should expect some limit on the number of guests per graduate at the event and some sort of social distancing in the seating. The district will announce the location and time no later than July 17.
Additional information regarding specific locations/times for other senior activities (prom, baccalaureate, senior awards, etc) will be coming as those events get finalized. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we try to provide the seniors the recognition they deserve under these unique circumstances.

Message From Christian County Clerk
|
|
The Christian County Clerk has asked for assistance with putting this message out on Thursday, May 28, if possible:
Due to COVID-19, Christian County will be taking precautions for the safety of those in the polling places. Voters arriving at the polls will be greeted at the door with hand sanitizer. Voters are encouraged to take personal responsibility for their safety and may choose to wear a mask, but none will be provided by the County Clerk.
Due to social distancing, there will be limited capacity inside the polling, which may create a longer wait in line to vote. The peak time to vote is from 6:00 am to 9:00 am and 4:00pm to 7:00pm. To minimize the wait time, voters are encouraged to vote at a different time. At 7:00 p.m. voting ends and everyone that is in line at 7:00 p.m. will be able to vote on Election Day.
Voters that are unable to vote on Election Day or would like to vote early can vote at the County Clerk’s Office Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday May 30, 2020 from 8:00 a.m. to noon. Voters must call 582-4340, when they arrive at the historic courthouse so we can prepare the application and ballot for them to vote absentee.
I appreciate your understanding and patience during these awkward times.
Sincerely,
Kay Brown
