El Reno High School’s graduation, originally set for May 21, is officially postponed.

But those seniors who would have walked across the stage that evening are not giving up. Many stress the importance of commemorating their years of hard work.

And the El Reno School Board agrees with them.

Superintendent Craig McVay said postponing the ceremony was inevitable due to the COVID-19 situation.

El Reno police believe they have identified a man who was found dead on Sunday.

Police are not yet revealing the information, and are waiting for the Oklahoma medical examiner to confirm the identity.

Police said the medical examiner did confirm that it was a homicide, just as investigators initially believed. Evidence to suggest this was found at the scene, but details have not been made public.

El Reno resident Rindie Hunt said she is running for Canadian County Court Clerk and said her experience makes her uniquely qualified.

The primary election is set to take place Tuesday, June 30. Hunt will face incumbent Marie Hirst.

“I am happy to announce my intention to seek the Republican nomination for Canadian County Court Clerk,” Hunt said in a prepared statement. “I believe that my past experience working in this office and for members of the judiciary in Canadian County has prepared me to bring a breath of fresh air to the court clerk’s office.”
