Seniors will be picked up at Benaroya Hall after graduation. Buses will depart promptly at 10:30 p.m. The destination is a surprise, but a sweatshirt and closed-toed shoes are recommended. Buses will return to EC campus Tuesday, June 8 by 6:15 a.m. Parents should plan to pick up their student so they are not driving after being up all night. As a reminder, no cell phones, bags, large oversized jackets or backpacks will be allowed. More information will be forthcoming from the planning committee in the spring.
Not held this year	Senior Pilgrimage	Senior Pilgrimage will not be held this year due to the following reasons. Physical distancing guidelines are still in place and the pilgrimage is an all-day hike down a trail that at times is very narrow. The pilgrimage also entails group gatherings for discussions that would be problematic for spacing. The theme of the pilgrimage, and the reason that it is done at the beginning of the year, is the concept of "new beginnings." The script for Senior Pilgrimage is about preparing for senior year and how to make it memorable. Having it this late in the year would require the traditional theme be changed. Transportation to Snoqualmie is done by bus which would be difficult with physical distancing. EC faculty and staff are focused on providing a third Destiny retreat experience. With this retreat on campus, we are able to better control physical distancing while maintaining the traditions of this retreat. The months of April and May are filled with many academic and end of the year activities for seniors. We believe it would be difficult to add another all-day event during this time.
Not held this year	Senior Cruise	Due to unavailability of the traditional Argosy Cruise ships and very limited capacity numbers with other cruise ship options, the Senior Student Cabinet cancelled the Senior Cruise event this year.
