Dallas ISD to hold virtual commencement ceremonies for Class of 2020, districtwide ovation planned

 In order to provide the safest and most secure environment for our students, their families and staff, this year Dallas ISD will hold commencement ceremonies virtually beginning May 22.

Efforts will be made to maintain as much of the traditional ceremony as possible. In addition, all 8,900 seniors will receive customized banners to display at home that recognize them as members of their high school’s Class of 2020.

As a special way to show support of this year’s senior class, Dallas ISD invites the community to step outside their residence from 7 to 7:10 p.m. on Thursday, May 21, and recognize all senior students during a districtwide ovation.

Students and families will receive details regarding virtual graduation information for each campus, along with how to retrieve their gap and gown. Students should expect to receive a notification from their principal by next week.

In total, Dallas ISD will hold 37 commencement ceremonies beginning May 22 to May 31.
