Atlanta Public Schools plans to host in-person graduation ceremonies in May.
The outdoor events are May 24-May 27 at Georgia Tech’s Bobby Dodd Stadium. Attendees will be required to remain socially distant.
Last year, the pandemic prompted the Atlanta school system to postpone in-person graduation ceremonies for the class of 2020 on several occasions. The district eventually held two scaled-back commencement programs in November.
This year, APS joins several metro districts, including Cobb, Fulton and Henry County, that plan to hold the events in-person.
