Carlynton School District created a “Commencement Caravan” to deliver diplomas to each graduating senior since they were unable to hold a traditional graduation ceremony this year due to the covid-19 pandemic.

High School principal Michael Loughren, as well as the cougar mascot and a few teachers, weaved through Crafton and Rosslyn Farms on Thursday and Friday to deliver the diplomas to students who waited in front of their homes wearing their caps and gowns.

They’ll finish delivering the diplomas to seniors in Carnegie on Saturday.
