The Class of 2024 will gather their diplomas on Friday heading off into the next chapter of their lives. Earlier this week, graduating seniors took to Main Street for the annual Graduation Parade. KOTO’s Julia Caulfield was there with a question for those watching the parade: what advice do you wish you got when you graduated from High School?

High School graduation for the class of 2020 will – hopefully – be like non other. Schools closing, learning going online, shelter in place orders, a pandemic have forced teachers and administrators to get creative with how they celebrate this year’s graduating class. Graduation in Telluride will take place next week, but on Thursday, seniors were treated to their very own parade down Main Street.
In decked out cars, bikes, the occasional motorcycle, and fire engines to start, graduating students – in full cap and gown - and their families drove down Colorado Ave, waiving to supportive onlookers.
Those onlookers, socially distanced – for the most part – and through mask muffled voices shared their well wishes for these students, as they leave the safe nest of home and head into an uncertain adulthood.
