Redding, Anderson, Shasta Lake high school class of 2022 graduation schedules, locations
Corrections & Clarifications: An earlier version of this story provided incorrect information about the graduation dates and times of the Anderson Union High School District graduation ceremonies. The story has been updated to reflect the correct times of the four AUHSD ceremonies, which will take place on June 10.
Senior high school graduations are on the horizon and have reverted to normal programming similar to pre-pandemic times, school officials said.
High schools had to prioritize the coronavirus pandemic safety guidelines in graduation ceremonies and other school events since 2020 and it’s exciting to see students go back to celebrating in a way that is normal to them, said Debby Boontjer, executive assistant to the superintendent at Gateway Unified School District.
The Gateway Unified School District, Anderson Union High School District and Shasta Union High School District will not be placing any restrictions related to social distancing, masking, or showing evidence of full COVID-19 vaccinations, school officials said.
"These are life events and milestones and its important for them (students) to look back and feel like it was meaningful for them," Boontjer said.
Ticket sales will be limited due to spacing rather than social distancing, officials said.
