Aspen High School\u2019s graduation plans are set for Saturday\u2019s ceremony at Buttermilk Ski Area, but AHS principal Tharyn Mulberry confirmed Wednesday that the March of the Graduates won\u2019t take place.<\/p>\n

The march was going to be Friday in the form of a car parade through town, but there were too many questions surrounding COVID-19 to make it possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were multiple issues with it,\u201d Mulberry said. \u201cTo be really frank, from the high school principal\u2019s position, I\u2019m so pleased with the way we are going to be conducting our graduation and the cooperation we\u2019ve had with Skico and the county and the police department and the Sheriff\u2019s department. I\u2019m very pleased that we can have the graduation the way we are going to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

In place of the normal affair inside the Benedict Music Tent, Saturday\u2019s graduation will take place in the Buttermilk parking lot and look like a drive-in movie with attendees sitting in their vehicles.<\/p>\n
