The Osceola County School Board understands that high school seniors are missing out on some milestone moments right now in light of COVID-19 school closures. What should be a time filled with joy and excitement for families is now a mixed bag of emotions as we follow social distancing recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as state and local guidelines.

If social distancing rules are lifted next month as hoped, the Osceola School District would honor its 2020 graduates as originally planned on May 21-May 29. If social distancing rules have not been lifted by next month, the Osceola County School Board will honor its 2020 graduates on July 6-July 10 if conditions allow at that time:
