CIRCLEVILLE – “Graduation is going to be different this year,” said Mike Dewine during a press conference when he announced that school would not go back into regular session and continue through online sources.

“In the weeks since the COVID-29 closures took effect, the district has been working daily, and a lot of times hourly, on how to honor our senior class while keeping people safe. Some of these celebration have included a senior showcase on social media, hosting a Lights On city-wide event,, and hosting our first ever digital prom,” Christ Thorsly Circleville School Principal.

“I am so incredibly proud to have been your principal over the past four years and am excited to commission the 162nd graduation class of Circleville High school in the coming weeks. I know you are bound for great things once you leave here.”
