At the start of what would have been graduation week, the lights switched on at the Lawrence High School football stadium on Monday at 8:20 p.m. — or 20:20 in military time to honor the class of 2020. The lights remained on for 20 minutes. The same stadium lighting is planned for Tuesday and Wednesday.

Walking into the stadium, members of the class of 2018 attend their graduation. Two years later, members of the class of 2020 may finally get to take that same walk — or something similar — during a graduation ceremony planned for July. Graduation was delayed due to COVID-19.
