BOSTON
- Thursday, May 21, 2020 - Mayor Martin J. Walsh together with Boston
Public Schools Superintendent Brenda Cassellius today announced the City of
Boston will honor graduating seniors in the Class of 2020 and celebrate
their accomplishments with a virtual graduation ceremony that will be
broadcast on WCVB Channel 5 on Saturday, June 13, 2020 from 7:30 - 8:00 pm.
The ceremony will be hosted by Mayor Walsh, Superintendent Cassellius and
will feature Former United States Secretary of Education John King as the
keynote speaker. In addition to a televised broadcast, the ceremony will
also be streaming online at WCVB.com and available after the broadcast on boston.gov.
"We
are tremendously proud of our graduating seniors, who together mark a class
of smart, hardworking, and creative individuals who I know will go on to do
great things," said Mayor Walsh. "While the coronavirus pandemic
has sidelined some of our most important traditions, including high school
graduation, we will not miss the opportunity to celebrate their
achievements or mark this important milestone in their lives. I want all
the seniors to know that their city is rooting for them, and will be behind
them every step of the way. We are proud to work with WCVB Channel 5 to
broadcast this very special event."
The
ceremony will feature remarks from School Committee Chair Michael Loconto,
valedictorians from all 36 BPS high schools, and surprise guests. Students
have also been asked to submit photos and videos of their high school
experience. Boston Public Schools has approximately 3,000 students in the
2020 graduating class.
"Senior
year for any high school student is a remarkable time in a young person's life,
and the senior year for the Class of 2020 is unlike any we've experienced
in our lifetime," said Superintendent Brenda Cassellius. "The
courage, flexibility, and resilience our students have shown, supported by
our community is an inspiration for all of us, and gives us all reason to
be hopeful about the future and the legacy the Class of 2020 will create
long after their time in the Boston Public Schools has passed."
