FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): Fort Wayne Community Schools will be holding a unique celebration of its graduates early next month.

As you know, school districts across the country were closed due to coronavirus-related precautions. Fort Wayne Community Schools was no exception, meaning the class of 2020 wouldn’t be walking the stage to get their diplomas.

Instead, they’ll get them in a kind of parade. From June 4th through the 6th, students will be invited to decorate their cars and drive in special parades at their respective high schools to pick up their diplomas. Families can join their graduates, but the school district is also requesting that there only be one vehicle per graduate.
