The forecast for tonight is questionable as to whether or not we will be experiencing rain at the time of our graduation. However, all forecasts are consistent in that the temperature will be in the low 50s with wind from 15-16 mph creating a feels like temperature in the low to mid 40s. Based on this information, we will be using our backup day and time to conduct the AOHS Class of 2021 Graduation Ceremony on Saturday, May 29, 2021 at 11:00 AM. The forecast for tomorrow is 58 degrees and sunny. Our goal is for our graduates and their families to have the best experience possible at the graduation ceremony and tomorrow provides a much better chance of that happening. We will be broadcasting the Graduation Ceremony live on YouTube. The live stream can be accessed at https://youtu.be/QkVs7RJvh6s #WEareAO

We are continuing to monitor the weather regarding our Graduation Ceremony for tonight at 6:00 PM. Unfortunately, the forecast is questionable as to whether or not we will have rain at or close to Graduation at 6:00 PM. If we postpone, we will use our rain date and time of 11:00 AM tomorrow, Saturday, May 29. An announcement will be made by 2:00 PM today regarding when the Graduation Ceremony for the AOHS Class of 2022 will be conducted. This announcement will be emailed and posted on social media.
