CHAMPAIGN CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL 144th ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT \ Tommy Stewart Field MAY 25, 2021 CHAMPAIGN CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM Tuesday, May 25, 2021 Champaign Central High School’s commencement is a joyous and formal celebration of our students’ – your children’s - personal academic accomplishment. It is an historic ceremony attended with traditional dignity and respect for the members of the Class of 2021 and their families. As a diverse school family, we have all come together to celebrate. As we do, each in our own style, let us remember to be respectful of one another’s customs. Please do not allow your private affirmation of success, your support of your own child in whatever form that takes, to overshadow the reading of our students’ names. Kindly be brief.
