According to the school district, the decision to hold the ceremonies were a result of an online survey where seniors, families and staff parents overwhelming preferred to have one.
Before those ceremonies can take place, school officials said each high school will conduct a drive-through "senior roll." Each high school principal will choose a route through a neighborhood around the school.
"This will be a great opportunity for parents, friends, staff and members of our community to wave and offer their congratulations as grads drive by," according to the school district.
The "roll" will take place May 15 at 8:30 p.m.
