Lead Summary

Last year the Luverne High School Class of 2020 jumped into vehicles after commencement exercises and followed a fire truck through Luverne.
On Sunday the LHS Class of 2021 will celebrate in similar style.
“Last year was a big hit with many loving it, so the seniors asked to have it again,” said high school principal Ryan Johnson.
“It was fun for the community to support them — waving at them and shouting out congratulatory remarks — made them feel special and accomplished.”
The parade begins at 3:30 p.m. with participating graduates in vehicles starting and ending at the middle-high school parking lot.
Johnson said this year’s parade route is shorter than last year’s event but long enough to give the public lining the designated boulevards the opportunity to congratulate students as they are chauffeured along the route.
The route from the school heads south on Donaldson Street, east on Main Street, north on Blue Mound Avenue, west on Veterans Drive and south on Highway 75 back to the school.
Commencement for the 90 students comprising the LHS Class of 2021 begins at 2 p.m. Sunday, May 30, in the Luverne Elementary School gym.
