Despite the challenges presented by social
distancing measures, one Middle Village
Catholic high school found a way to celebrate
its seniors this past weekend – a drive-though pregraduation
celebration.
On Sunday, June 7, seniors graduating from
Christ the King Regional High School drove
through the school’s campus with their cars
decorated, as members of the school’s community
celebrated graduates’ achievement from a
distance.
“It was a fun filled (albeit bitter sweet) social
distancing afternoon, where the administration,
teachers and staff lined the school property
cheering, holding signs and waving pom poms
as the students drove by, congratulating them and
wishing them well in all their future endeavors,”
said Margaret Keta-Tapalaga, a public relations
official for the school. “There were many cheers
and tears!”
Each graduate was met with a personal greeting
from the school’s LED display on Metropolitan
Avenue to being the drive-through event.
Upon entering into the campus, seniors were
met with a hello from the school’s mascot, music
from a DJ, personalized name plates, Christ the
King face masks, yearbooks, graduation t-shirts,
a senior class photo and greetings from faculty
and staff.

On top of the celebration, Christ the King will
host an outdoor graduation for its 2020 senior
class on June 27.
