Montgomery County high schools will hold virtual graduation ceremonies for their students between June 8 and 12, following a districtwide celebration on June 7.

All MCPS graduations will be held virtually this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Last week, the school district announced it will hold an online celebration for all students on June 7, headlined by speaker José Andrés of Bethesda, founder of World Central Kitchen.
