According to Director of Schools Patrick Cripps and DCHS Principal Randy Jennings graduates will be limited to six guests so that social distancing can be observed. Each senior will be issued six tickets including two for family seating on the football field and four tickets for guest seating in the stands. Guests are asked to sit 6 feet apart to ensure social distancing guidelines, with the exception of those who come together.

The commencement program will feature the presentation of the White Rose and Citizenship Awards to members of the Class, recognition of honors, distinction, top rank and service students, remarks by the Class Valedictorian Anna Chew and Class President Hannah McBride, and presentation of diplomas. The band and chorus will not be making an appearance this year.
