[Counselors] Student death - issuing a diploma

[OSRHEStudent Prep PK-12 Counselor Discussion Board]

I have 2 that have passed for this graduating class.....my first experience
with this.  We already planned to have 2 chairs for them with their
cap/gown but I'm not sure what else to do/not do.  What did the honorary
diploma look like?  Also, did you call their names with the other students
when they receive their diploma?
