Seniors might not get to have prom, or roam the halls one final time before heading off to college or the work force, but they will have a commencement!
Just not on school grounds…
I’ve always said that if I were to get on @tiktok_us it had to be for something REALLY special. Today is the day. Get ready. https://t.co/YVCt5h1dLx pic.twitter.com/2h9DtvdMRE

That’s right, the City of Chicago is hosting an online commencement ceremony for all high school seniors who will not be able to attend a real one due to the stay at home order.
The virtual ceremony is meant to include all seniors in public and private schools, and is being put on to celebrate the achievement that all these youngsters have accomplished.
Some details are still being worked out by the city, including the exact date on which it will be held. We will keep you updated as more info on the online commencement comes in.
Congrats seniors!!
