Although the Barnegat High School Class of 2020 has already had a virtual graduation ceremony, plans are underway for the seniors to experience real commencement exercises once Gov. Murphy increases the number allowed for outdoor gatherings.

The limit has already gone up from 25 to 100 people (excluding protests and religious events). Murphy said that number will increase to 250 on June 22 and 500 people on July 3 if the downward trend in the state’s COVID-19 outbreak continues.
