Congratulations to the Class of 2022
Commencement exercises for the Cook County High School Class of 2022 will be Saturday, May 28 at 1 p.m. in the Pam Taylor Gymnasium at the school. The school asks attendees to please wear masks due to the increased numbers of COVID-19 cases in the community.
Graduates will take part in a parade after the ceremony, at approximately 2:45 p.m. riding from the Sawtooth Mountain Elementary School parking lot to The Point in downtown Grand Marais for a final class photo.
The graduation ceremony will also be available for viewing during and after commencement on the school’s YouTube channel which can be found on the school website.
