COLORADO SPRINGS — Academy District 20 announced they will be holding in-person graduations for the class of 2020 beginning Monday.

An amended health order was released at the beginning of June by the Colorado Department of Public Health states "life rites, such as wedding ceremonies, graduation ceremonies and funerals, and other religious rites are authorized at 50% capacity not to exceed 50 people indoors, with strict compliance with Social Distancing Requirements for employees and any attendees of services."
Some high school graduations have already taken place in the county prior to the amended order being released by the state. The county sent a variance request to the state in May that was approved, but parents or guests were not allowed to be on site.
