Class of ’21 Has Cause to Celebrate in Beverly Hills

BY ANA FIGUEROA

After perhaps the most unusual —and challenging —15 months in their young lives, graduates in the Beverly Hills Unifi ed School District have cause to celebrate. Traditional campus graduation ceremonies have returned, in contrast to the curtailed and virtual versions required by the pandemic in 2020.

The ceremonies will take place during the week of June 6 as follows:

June 8, 10:45 a.m. Hawthorne Elementary School, 5th grade promotion;

June 8, 1:45 p.m. Horace Mann Elementary School 5th grade promotion;

June 9, 5 p.m. Beverly Vista Middle School (BVMS) 8th grade graduation; and

June 10, 9 a.m. Beverly Hills High School (BHHS) graduation at Nickoll Field.

Each graduate has been given four allocated seats. The ceremonies will also be shared on social media. The BHHS graduation can be watched live at youtube. com/kbev6. The BVMS graduation can be watched live on Instagram at instagram. com/bvms.bhusd.

The elementary school promotions will not be streamed live but highlights will be posted at instagram.com/haw.bhusd and instagram.com/hm.bhusd.
