Dumas High School graduation ceremonies will take place on Monday June 1, 2020 at 8:00 p.m. at Dumas Demon Stadium with multiple restrictions enforced for those who are permitted to attend the event.

DHS Principal Brett Beesley says the plans were recently finalized after the Governor of Texas and the Commissioner of Education released guidance for graduation events. All plans are subject to change at the discretion of the Governor of Texas.

The graduation will also be live-streamed on BlueCloud.tv and available for viewing on Facebook.

If the graduation ceremony is unable to happen on June 1st due to bad weather, it will be postponed until Tuesday the 2nd.
