NEWS RELEASE from the San Diego Unified School District, July 30, 2012
CLASS OF '12 TO END WITH SUMMER COMMENCEMENT
Ceremony Includes Students from Throughout District
SAN DIEGO -- High school seniors who hadn't fulfilled graduation
requirements in time for June ceremonies with their high school class will
take the graduation walk in San Diego Unified's annual Summer Commencement
Ceremony, 2:30 p.m. Friday, August 3, at Lincoln High School, 4777
Imperial Ave. (92111).
"Each year, this is an inspiring ceremony," said Supt. Bill Kowba. "The
symbolism of the cap and gown has motivated these students to finish their
high school work in time to 'take the walk.'"
Each student's name, as in the traditional ceremony, is read aloud, and
students wear the caps and gowns in their school's traditional colors.
Students from all of the district's 18 high school campuses will
participate.
Friday's ceremony includes seniors who may not have passed the California
High School Exit Exam in time for June graduation.
Before this late-summer ceremony was established in 2005, students would
eventually receive a diploma but wouldn't be able to participate in a
graduation ceremony.
High school graduation requirements include 44 semester credits, a 2.0 or
higher grade point average, science and math course requirements,
completing a senior portfolio and passing the exit exam.
