Staff and teachers at Amphitheater High School in Tucson visited the homes of nearly all graduating seniors to deliver their personal congratulations to the students who have been learning from home since the Governor's stay-at-home order was enacted due to the coronavirus pandemic. Each student can participate in a individual, private graduation ceremony at the school, May 18-21. Each ceremony will be recorded and included in a 90-minute long commemorative video that also features traditional speeches by leaders of the graduating senior class.
