After years of eating lunch in the same cafeteria, walking to class through the same hallways and learning alongside the same classmates, high school seniors are wrapping up their final year of high school in a way they didn’t expect when they first started four years ago. To help make their unconventional graduation a special event, artists, athletes, musicians, influencers, and celebrities are teaming up for Graduate Together: America Honors the High School Class Of 2020, a virtual graduation ceremony to honor the high school class of 2020.
Graduate Together comes from the Entertainment Industry Foundation, The LeBron James Family Foundation, XQ Institute, and more partners, who all organized the event to make up for canceled graduation ceremonies across the country. “We’ve been coping with this crisis together. Now it’s time to look ahead together,” reads the event’s official description. “Let’s start by celebrating the graduates of the Class of 2020 and the pivotal role they will play in rethinking and reshaping the path forward.”
