ORLANDO, Fla. – The First Academy in Orlando said that it found a creative way to honor their graduating class, which included walking across an actual stage.
The school said the entire ceremony took 13 hours to complete. On May 15, from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., students showed up at different times with up to seven guests.
The groups moved to different stations set up inside the school, which included receiving their cap and gown and receiving their yearbook.
Brooks DenBeste, 18, said that his entire academic career has been at The First Academy and was worried about not having a graduation ceremony. “I always was looking forward to the graduation experience.
