After a trying year-and-a-half of mostly remote learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some Boston high school seniors will at least receive an iconic sendoff this spring.
Officials said Wednesday that Fenway Park will host commencement ceremonies this June for at least 16 of the 38 graduating high school classes in the Boston Public School system, in an effort to provide appropriately distanced outdoor space for the events amid the ongoing pandemic.
“Fenway Park is the perfect outdoor space in the heart of the city and large enough to host teachers, students, and their families in a safe manner,” Boston Red Sox President and CEO Sam Kennedy said in statement.
