Lee Early College Diploma “Drive-Thru” Celebration

What?             Until we can safely conduct a traditional graduation ceremony, we think it is important to recognize the accomplishments of the Class of 2020 by distributing diplomas and providing a small, intimate celebration for each of our graduates.  Graduates are encouraged to wear their cap and gown. 

Who?              Graduates and up to five (5) guests

When?            The celebration will be held on Thursday, May 21st.  Graduates will sign up for a time slot between 8:00 am and 6:00 pm.  The appointment sheet will be available from May 13th - May 18th and can be viewed here: Drive-Thru Sign Up Sheet. To sign up for a time you must review the sheet and then email Ms. Willaert (swillaert.lec@lee.k12.nc.us) your top three time choices. We will do our best to accommodate each student.

Where?           The diploma “drive-thru” celebration will take place in the LEC parking lot near the LEC "pod.”
