Hosts Virtual Graduation
When it was determined that they could not gather for a live ceremony, Monterey Bay Academy (MBA) made the most of the technology available and hosted a virtual graduation on YouTube and made their commencement program available online. “Without notice or preparation, your year was changed and now for the first time in our MBA history the Class of 2020’s experience is completely different,” Principal Jeff Deming shared with graduates. “However, you all have adapted to the unexpected changes and have rallied together to rise above the situation.”
