By Jeff Steers JTV News Onsted Community Schools Superintendent Steve Head knew the senior class of 2020 needed a unique experience after COVID-19 cancelled some of the biggest events of the school year in March. How about a facility with nearly 80,000 seats? Nearly 100 OHS seniors graduated at Michigan International Speedway on Friday night with parents, grandparents, relatives, and siblings looking on from vehicles. COVID-19 made a regular graduation in the OHS gymnasium impossible due to restrictions. When MIS stepped up offering their facility, Onsted administrators jumped at it. “OHS graduate Jennifer Hutchinson worked with us,” Head said. “This is a special class and we knew they had to get together – in one spot – one more time.” Hutchinson works at MIS in facility rental opportunities and new business development. Students rode in a vehicle with parents and siblings while other relatives drove on the outside lane watching and videotaping. All graduates were allowed to have up to two vehicles on the track and another in pit row watching the event. The ceremony…

By Jeff Steers JTV News One way or another, members of the Napoleon High School class of 2020 will have a graduation on Sunday, July 19. It is only a matter of limitations at this point. The COVID-19 pandemic threw a wrench into the plans for a graduation on May 31. A representative graduation committee recently came up with the decision to hold a 1) outdoor graduation – if limitations allow; 2) indoor graduation if limitations allow; or a virtual graduation. NHS Principal Patrick Dillon released the findings in a recent email concerning the graduation issue. “We want to thank our representative graduation committee parents and students consisting of Susan Sayles, Lisa Bradley, Mike Boobyer, Elizabeth Phelps, Izzy Ford, and Austin Smith, for participating in the tough decision making,” Dillon write in the email. “We are cancelling the June 14 (and June 16 makeup date for a virtual graduation) and putting all of our eggs in the one basket.” He noted that just over 80 percent responded to the…
