* Mars Area High School does not announce its valedictorian and salutatorian until after the last day of school when all final grades have been tabulated. Therefore, those students who are invited to speak at graduation may not be the valedictorian and salutatorian.
During the ceremony, each graduate will receive his/her diploma, then walk along a marked route through the parking lots, passing peers and families. Participants are asked to wear a face covering (mask or shield) and to maintain social distancing at all times, where possible.
All graduates and their families have been assigned one parking spot, for one vehicle only. Vehicles without a provided “graduation tag” will not be admitted to the High School campus.
In the event of light rain, the event will be held as scheduled. A Rain Date, if needed, is scheduled on Monday, June 7. For more information, visit https://highschool.marsk12.org/.
