The route will progress through the city and be shared on NextDoor and the city’s social media platforms.

Graduates are encouraged to include their names, school names and decorate with their school colors. High school students may want to share where they are headed next for college.

Residents are encouraged to stand out in their yards or on sidewalks to help celebrate the graduates. The city’s antique fire truck will lead the parade and the new trolley will serve as the caboose.
