According to the Columbia County School District, locations for a few commencement ceremonies may be changing… again.

The quote from the website:

Weather reports indicate inclement weather may move out of the area prior to the evening ceremony for Evans High School, on Friday, May 27, 2022. In response to feedback from our community and an improved weather forecast, we plan to make a determination on moving the graduation ceremony to Evans Towne Center Park, without the need for limited seats.

We expect to announce a final decision, approximately four to five hours in advance of the 7:30 p.m. start time, on Friday, May 27, 2022. Please monitor the school and district websites and social media platforms for updates.

We appreciate all staff and county partners coming together to accommodate this change and the hard work required to make this happen.
