(EL PASO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT — April 28, 2020) — EPISD announced the proposed new dates for the Class of 2020 graduation ceremonies dates that were forced to be postponed due to health guidelines related to the COVID-19 pandemic impacting the globe.
“EPISD remains committed to celebrating the accomplishments of the Class of 2020,” said Superintendent Juan E. Cabrera.
“We are excited about the prospect of giving our graduating seniors the ceremonies they have worked hard to earn, but we also want to continue to do our part to keep our community healthy and safe,” Cabrera added. “The new proposed dates give El Pasoans the opportunity to pull together behind our seniors and flatten the infection curve. Let’s help our seniors walk the stage.”
Ceremonies are contingent upon the City of El Paso lifting its ban on large gatherings.
