It was a graduation ceremony like no other: On May 23, hundreds of seniors at each of the four high schools in the South-Western City Schools District participated in a drive-thru ceremony where they were able to don their caps and gowns, walk across a stage to pick up their diploma covers and take photographs to commemorate their achievement. Though it was unlike traditional ceremonies due to state mandated crowd restrictions to slow the spread of a novel coronavirus, the graduating class of 2020 said they were thankful a modified event was held.

Hubbard, who will be attending The Ohio State University in the fall, was one of the student leaders who worked with the district and state boards of health and education to put together the drive-thru ceremony.
