The South Tippah School District realizes that high school graduation is an important, once in a lifetime, life changing event. Unfortunately, the class of 2020 has had to endure many changes to the experiences that most of our students have earned the right to have and this includes what we have come to expect for our graduation exercises.
In saying this, the South Tippah School district wants to ensure that EACH of our seniors is able to receive the best possible experience in the awarding of their diploma. This will be conducted through individual ceremonies that will include a professional videographer who will record this experience and make it available for each senior. This will be each school’s OFFICIAL graduation.
In addition to the official graduation, the South Tippah District will schedule TENTATIVE traditional ceremonies for the students on the dates listed below. These dates are TENTATIVE, as the South Tippah School District will have to follow the most up-to-date health guidelines from the Center Of Disease Control and the Governor of the State of Mississippi during these unprecedented times.
