Boston Collegiate Charter School (BCCS) hosted a “Drive-Through Graduation” on June 4 honoring the sixty members of the Class of 2020. BCSS arranged for a socially distant graduation ceremony, where students waited in their cars until their names were called, and then were presented with their diplomas.
“It was very different than being all together, but it was so wonderful to see students come with their families and get to see the joy and pride on everyone’s faces,” said Shannah Varón, executive director of BCCS. “It was a moment of joy and uplift at a really, really hard time.”
Varón and High School Principal, Sarah Morland, hand-delivered diplomas to the homes of students who were unable to attend the “Drive-Through Graduation.”
