After much uncertainty and disappointment due to senior celebrations being canceled due to COVID-19, area high schools will now be recognized with a special drive-by parade to honor the graduating class of 2020.

First organized in Parkland by Mayor Hunschofsky in honor of Marjory Stoneman Douglas graduates, the City of Coral Springs followed suit in partnership with principals from Coral Springs high schools.

All participants are required to remain in their vehicles and practice safe social distancing.

Participants will enter the staging area at the intersection of Royal Palm Blvd. and Sportsplex Drive, police personnel will be present to assist. The parade will start on Sportsplex Drive at the south point of the parking lot, turn north on Sportsplex Drive with the procession ending at Sample Road.
