Mask Free Graduation

Mask Free Graduation

The Issue

The Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, made a statement that the mask mandate would be lifted on June 15th with the intel of high vaccination rates and a decrease in COVID-19 cases. The 2021 Yucaipa High Graduation will be held as an outdoor event with the accommodation of social distance requirements and limited attendance. Therefore, for the comfort and enjoyment of graduates and their families, those attending should not be required to wear masks on June 9th. Six days before the mandate is lifted, giving the students one last chance of normalcy in their high school experience where us, the seniors, did not get the year we had hoped for. The support from students, faculty, family, and friends, would be greatly appreciated as it is for the student’s last hoo-rah.
