West Grand High School\u2019s original graduation date was May 23.<\/p>\n<p>Bauer notes that other schools in the league have also changed their graduation dates as a result of the change to the CHSAA calendar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, she also acknowledges the change may be inconvenient, but said the district\u2019s board of education, who voted on the graduation date change, looked into many factors when making the decision.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the board felt hosting the graduation on a Sunday still allowed time for travel and families to enjoy graduation weekend. They approved the date change at their meeting in October.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope getting the date change out now will allow most people to adjust plans,\u201d Bauer said. \u201cThe 2020 graduation date reflects our desire to support all students being able to be in attendance at graduation and still honoring the (West Grand School District) tradition of graduation on memorial weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skyhinews.com\/news\/west-grand-hs-reschedules-graduation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Sky-Hi News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>West Grand High School has pushed its graduation date back by one day in order to accommodate student athletes\u2019 schedules and allow as many students as possible to attend.
