Horry County Schools Allowed to Hold In-Person Graduations

The Horry County School board has approved in-person graduations. The HCS board voted 8-3 in a virtual meeting last night. Graduations are now allowed to be held in football stadiums, gyms or auditoriums. Principals will also have the option to decide between individual ceremonies, or a larger event. The ceremonies will be voluntary for students and staff and there will be guidelines for the number of people who are able to participate. While the HCS board is happy to offer this opportunity to their students, their health remains a top priority.
