Edison High School Holds Turbocharged 2020 Graduation

Portland, OR. High schools and universities have had to get creative with this year’s graduation ceremonies. Edison High School, in Beaverton, held its first-ever “car graduation ceremony” on May 29th. The ceremony started with a procession of staff members and students with their families.

Seniors hopped out of their cars and were greeted by Principal, Jason Wold.

From Edison High School:

Edison exists to empower students with learning differences to experience academic success and personal growth while preparing them for a productive future.
