In lieu of DeSoto High School’s traditional evening graduation at Eagle Stadium, seniors will mark this educational milestone through a hybrid graduation ceremony that will be held over a two-day period in addition to other smaller senior celebrations scheduled with the community and district.
With that in mind, DeSoto High School will honor the Class of 2020 in a series of events designed to provide safeguards for the health and safety of our grads, their families and our communities but that also provides that in-person experience that every family dreams about as they envision this important senior milestone.
● May 27: 10 a.m. to Noon – Virtual Graduation (Live Streamed)
● May 27: 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. – Mini Ceremonies (Pre-Selected Groups)

Virtual Graduation: This event will be live-streamed at www.DeSotoISD.org/Graduation from the DeSoto High School Multi-Purpose Center (MPC).
Mini Ceremonies:
DeSoto High School Class of 2020 mini-ceremonies are an opportunity for graduates and no more than five guests gather to watch their graduate cross the stage in person.
DeSoto ISD asks all graduates and guests to adhere to the following:
● Follow traffic flow
● Adhere to guidance from security personnel
● Wear Masks
● Maintain social distancing
● If ill or symptomatic, STAY HOME
● Exit expeditiously
In order to memorialize this event, and in addition to the video livestream, DeSoto High School will provide onsite photography and videography services to create a full compilation simulating a traditional graduation event for a later release and a highlight recap video of the event for release on social media.
