Because of the class of 2020 size, 772 graduates, this will be a three-day event, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m,. on Wednesday, June 10, Thursday, June 11 and Friday June 12.

Stamford Public Schools finalized its commencement plans for 2020 graduates, announcing on Tuesday, June 9 that there will be pre-recorded school-specific videos in the coming weeks of graduations in-person, by appointment in small groups, in mid-July.
“While this year’s graduation is not what any of us envisioned earlier this school year, nor would it ever be our first choice for celebrating this milestone for our students, it is the safest, most equitable option we have during this ongoing health crisis,” said SPS Superintendent Dr. Tamu Lucero.
“After careful consideration, including reviewing our survey results, speaking with student and building leaders, class advisors and the Board of Education as well as conferring with Stamford’s health, safety and security officials, this hybrid option is our best choice.”
The pre-recorded virtual graduations for each school will closely align with that school’s typical graduation ceremony and reflect its unique personality. The in-person, small group by-appointment-only event will be limited by the most recent state and health department guidelines.
The specific time and dates of these events will be announced.
