The seniors at Kennett High School and Eagle Academy in North Conway, N.H., are going to have a memorable graduation thanks in large part to the generosity of Cranmore Mountain and The Fairbank Group. 
On June 13, graduates, in alphabetical order, and their guests will ride the Skimobile Express quad chairlift up the mountain. They will stop at the east bowl with spectacular views of Peaked and Middle mountains, where the graduate will be announced by principal Kevin Carpenter and presented with his or her diploma. After a couple of photo ops with the White Mountains as the backdrop, the group will head back down the mountain.
The roundtrip will take an estimated 30 minutes. With social distancing measures in place, the entire graduation is expected to take about seven hours.
Cranmore, one of The Fairbank Group’s three Northeast ski areas, is operating the chairlift and providing the venue free of charge. Cranmore president and general manager Ben Wilcox is a Kennett High School alumni (’82). The plan has been approved by state health and government officials.
