Washougal OKs in-person graduation ceremony for class of 2021

Mary Templeton’s main concern about the Washougal School District’s plans for its upcoming in-person graduation ceremony doesn’t have anything to do with the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We just hope it doesn’t rain,” said Templeton, the district’s superintendent. “That’s something that we can’t control. I don’t think we’re going inside. If it’s raining on us and we have a plan and we can be in-person to celebrate our wonderful seniors, we’re just going to get our hair wet. That’s just how it’s going to have to be.”
