School districts throughout Lexington County will join together to “Glow for Grads” May 20.

All Lexington County residents, businesses, and others are encouraged to turn their lights on at 8:30 pm for at least 20 minutes and 20 seconds in a united show of support for Lexington County’s 3,786 Lexington County high school graduating seniors.

Although this 2020 graduating class will have a fascinating story to tell their children and grandchildren one day, right now they are missing proms, spring sports, concerts and performances — making this senior year a bit disappointing.

Together, we can lift them up and show them how very much they mean to all of us here in Lexington County by something as simple as turning on our lights.

County high schools have:

• School District 1 — 1,689 seniors

• School District 2 — 481 seniors

• School District 3 — 126 seniors

• Lexington District 4 — 187 seniors

• Lexington & Richland County School District 5 — 1,303
