GREENFIELD, WI — The date for Greenfield High School's 2020 spring graduation is still in flux, district officials say, though graduating seniors will be able to pick up their caps and gowns at the high school on Thursday, April 23.

"We do know that it will not take place on June 13 in the same format that it has in past years. We have a number of things planned that will involve seniors in their caps and gowns while in the current 'stay at home' environment, and are still hopeful that we will have a face to face graduation ceremony as soon as it is safe to do so," district officials said.

According to district officials, students will be able to pick up their caps and gowns on Thursday, April 23 beginning at 1 p.m. until 3 p.m.
