The kids on the other side of the bridge will be receiving their diplomas, too.

As is the case with the New Brighton School District, the graduates of the Class of 2020 at Big Beaver Falls Area High School will be receiving their diplomas in a graduation “cruise” ceremony beginning at 7PM, and it will be broadcast live on Beaver County Radio and streamed on Facebook Live.

Tiger grad Matt Drzik (2010) was joined in studio by BBFASD Superintendent Dr. Donna Nugent, High School Principal Doug Rowe, Special Education Counselor Mary Beth Leeman, and High School Band Director Len Cersosimo to discuss the changes and similarities between past ceremonies and this year’s cruise-style ceremony. They also talked about the emotions of students and faculty over the course of the past few months leading up to this, and the details of the subsequent parade to follow the broadcast ceremony.
