Seniors toss their caps in tradition at the end of the 2018 St. Helens High School graduation held at the school’s athletic field.

2020 graduation to be different JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net
Seniors tossing their caps into the air has been the tradition of St. Helens High School over the years, but the 2020 graduation will have seniors following a more creative and health safety path as they graduate in early June. Due to the state’s social distancing orders to slow COVID-19, new restrictive graduation guidelines have been issued by the Oregon Education Department (OED). See the guidelines with this story at thechronicleonline.com. In releasing the graduation guidelines, the OED stated, “despite recent modeling that shows current efforts are “flattening the
curve” or slowing the spread of COVID-19, Oregon is still in the midst of the outbreak and must continue to “Stay Home, Save Lives.” The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) and Oregon Health Authority (OHA) recognize that this creates challenges for school districts and local communities that wish to provide students an opportunity to participate in the life milestone of a graduation ceremony or other year-end celebrations.” St. Helens High School Activities Director Noelle Freshner has been charged with developing the schools 2020 graduation plans amid the COVID-19 pandemic. “It has been nuts,” Freshner said in describing the hours and days she has been devoting to the creative
graduation ceremonies. At first, Freshner developed a graduation ceremony that would have taken place at the high school with the social distancing guidelines, but because of the encouragement and excitement offered by city and community members, the ceremony was changed and is now scheduled for 12 p.m. June 5 at the Columbia County Courthouse steps in downtown St. Helens. Freshner said the graduation will now have students driven to the court house steps with immediate family in the vehicles. Each student will emerge from the vehicles, walk up the court house steps, receive their diploma, walk back and enter the vehicle and leave. “By moving it to the
court house, It actually made our plan better because it provides the ability of each of the names of the graduating students to be announced and by having school board members sitting in the town squad to watch and cheer for our students, it will feel more like the original ceremony,” she said. “It went from a pick up and drive through, to an actual ceremony.” Freshner said due to the state’s current health emergency restrictions, no public gathering will be allowed during the Friday event. A Thursday night cruise from 8 to 10 p.m. Thursday, June 4, is planned through downtown St. Helens with the graduating seniors and community members who wish to participate. The
cruise is also designed to follow social distancing requirements. Other traditional graduation ceremony events are planned separately and will be video taped, such as student speeches, awards and scholarships, for a virtual online YouTube presentation. Details of the graduation events and the cruise were scheduled to be posted at the St. Helens High School website this week. Scappoose, Rainier and Clatskanie High Schools are also planning social distancing graduation ceremonies. Follow the St. Helens High School graduation events at thechronicleonline. com and in the Wednesday print editions of The Chronicle.

The Chief Justice, the Presiding Judge, and the DA all agree that Judge Grant is --
Qualified. Experienced. “I have appreciated Judge Grant’s leadership, fairness and integrity in addressing challenges in her community, and her innovative contributions to the statewide administration of justice.” - Chief Justice Martha Walters, Oregon Supreme Court “I have known Judge Jenefer Stenzel Grant for 24 years, 12 years when she was an attorney appearing in my court and 12 as a colleague on the Columbia County Circuit Court Bench. During all this time, Judge Grant has been extremely honest and forthright. I support her re-election as she has shown herself to be a fair, hard-working judge with the utmost integrity and concern for the citizens of Columbia County.” - Ted Grove, Presiding Judge, Columbia County Circuit Court “Judge Grant is a person of integrity. Her compassion, openmindedness and ethics are undeniable. Her intellectual honesty reflects her high ethical values and her conduct in and out of the courtroom shows that her singular motivation is truth and justice. Judge Grant should be reelected because of her integrity, ethics, and experience with criminal and juvenile law.” - Jeff Auxier, Columbia County District Attorney
