T's been quite the year for students across the country. They've been away from the classroom for months due to the pandemic and for some, there were questions about whether they'd have graduation ceremonies.
Saturday the first high school graduation ceremony will be taking place locally. Bakersfield Christian High School will hold its graduation starting at 9 a.m. To help with social distancing guidelines it will only be open to families from a student's household.
If you can't make it BCHS will also be streaming the graduation online.
And starting June 22nd schools within the Kern High School District will hold their ceremonies.
