Medford Schools Plan High School Graduation, More Student Events

MEDFORD, MA — The Medford Public Schools has scheduled a high school graduation ceremony and is "optimistically" planning more events for seniors, Superintendent Marice Edouard-Vincent said Friday.

Graduation will be held June 2 at Hormel Stadium. There are also tentative plans for prom and other outdoor activities for students.

This comes as the district set a new benchmark for its COVID-19 testing program, marking more than 3,000 tests without a single positive last week. Students and staff are urged to continue to wear their masks, practice social distancing and stay home if they are feeling unwell.

Members of the School Committee will host roundtables next week to gather feedback from families and staff regarding the district's Strategic Plan:
