ST. MARTINVILLE, La. — The St. Martin Parish School District have announced that its Class of 2020 high school seniors will graduate on Friday, June 5 at 6 p.m. at each respective school's stadium.
Superintendent Al Blanchard said that all three high schools in St. Martin Parish will hold outdoor graduation ceremonies while practicing social distancing.
Those schools are Breaux Bridge High School, Cecilia High School and St. Martinville High School.
