CENTERBURG, Ohio — An Ohio school district says it has canceled a high school's graduation ceremony after discovering several seniors cheated on a test.
Centerburg schools, northeast of Columbus, announced the cancellation of Saturday's graduation ceremonies following an emergency meeting of the education board.
The district says a Centerburg High School senior apparently hacked into the school's computer system, found the test and made copies of it.
The district says it decided to cancel graduation because so many seniors were involved either by cheating or by knowing about the cheating but failing to report it.
School officials say they will mail diplomas to seniors qualified to graduate next week.
