High School Withholds Diplomas Due to Excessive Celebration

Mount Healthy high school has withheld diplomas from four students.

The Cincinnati, Ohio school says that during the graduation, proceedings had to be halted due to the duration of cheers for specific students.

After disruptions in previous years, the school started a new policy this year, in hopes that all names could be heard.

In the terms of service for ordering graduation tickets, it clearly stated that disruptive behavior would result in diplomas being withheld until twenty hours of community service is completed.

Family and friends can assist or even do all of the hours for the students, who are still listed as graduated, just are not allowed to have their paper diploma until the twenty hours are finished.


So far one of the students at Mt. Healthy has finished their hours, but one family is fighting the school on the issue.
