LAS VEGAS, June 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Faith Lutheran
High School's class of 2020 had a unique graduation ceremony this
year thanks to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway (LVMS). On
May 22, 256 students received their
diploma as they drove across the start-finish line of the 1.5-mile
superspeedway and then continued around the speedway for an
approximate one-mile victory lap before exiting the speedway. The
students and their families were able to hear the commencement
address and remarks from the valedictorian on their car radios via
the speedway's low-power FM transmitter.
"We originally planned to have a traditional commencement at a
local church but with the health and well-being of our students,
faculty and students' families in mind, having a crowd of 3,000
people in one building was not an option," said Dr. Steve Buuck, CEO, Faith Lutheran Middle School
& High School. "Our seniors have worked hard this academic
year. We wanted to recognize their efforts and we're so
grateful for the LVMS making itself available to help provide an
unforgettable graduation experience for our seniors."
"We were happy to show our support for the graduates of Faith
Lutheran with this unique commencement opportunity," said LVMS
President Chris Powell. "While this
is certainly not the ceremony they expected when the school year
began, it was memorable and one we hope they will recall fondly for
years to come."
