Loveland High School has been exploring several options for a graduation ceremony for their Class of 2020 and are consulting with local officials about what will be permitted. No decision has been made.
Columbus, Ohio – Governor DeWine reminded Ohio educators on Wednesday that they must ensure social distancing during any and all graduation ceremonies.
The Ohio Department of Education and Ohio Department of Health issued the following suggestions for local schools and health 
departments on April 29:
- Virtual graduation ceremonies (preferred)
- Drive-in ceremonies where students drive to a designated location at a designated time to get their diplomas
- Outdoor ceremonies with 10 people or less who are socially distanced
Additional guidance can be found on the Ohio Department of Education’s website.
“Ohio has 612 school districts. Each school district must work with their local health department to make sure that their plan is in accordance with public health guidelines to deal with the pandemic,” said Governor DeWine. “I understand how hard it is for the Class of 2020. This is not how any of us envisioned your graduation, but I am confident that our schools will be resourceful and creative in how they can honor you.”
Governor DeWine also stressed that any graduation parties cannot exceed 10 people in one space.
