Nathalia Ortiz shows us how this year’s grads are still getting their big moment
For many high school seniors in Miami-Dade County, 2020 has been a year fraught with life altering events - with the coronavirus pandemic having the greatest impact.
Campuses across Florida have been closed since March, but the county's school district is making sure the Class of 2020 receives the recognition it deserves.
Starting Monday until next Tuesday, June 16th, Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) will host virtual graduation ceremonies for the Class of 2020.
Last Wednesday marked the end of the county's 2019-2020 school year. Schools across the area held drive-thru ceremonies for students, but M-DCPS says it wants to stream ceremonies with all "the pomp and circumstance."
