Santa Rosa High Graduates Get Rousing Drive-Through Sendoff

High school seniors all across the North Bay are being treated to very special, though unusual, graduation ceremonies this year.

Since the coronavirus emergency was declared in March, high school seniors along with other students throughout Sonoma County have attended virtual classes. But rather than cancel in-person graduation ceremonies, parents, teachers and students devised other, more creative ways to celebrate.

This afternoon Santa Rosa High School graduates attended a drive-through ceremony featuring a giant balloon arch, a t-shirt giveaway, music courtesy of a DJ and cheering parents and teachers.

Tonight and Friday night hundreds of other seniors from throughout Sonoma County will participate in similar drive-thru ceremonies to mark the end of their high school careers.
