2nd UPDATE: The Frederick County Government’s high-definition channel 1085 and standard-definition channel 19 will broadcast graduation videos with closed captioning. An earlier message incorrectly identified channel 19 instead of channel 1085 as Frederick County Government's high-definition channel. Closed captioning is available on both channels 1085 and 19, but only channel 1085 is high-definition. The corrected statement appears in red, bolded below.
Please note the change for the Walkersville High graduation ceremony. Instead of 2 PM, it will begin at 1:30 PM on June 10 and 17.
The full message sent yesterday appears below with the new time highlighted:
