How about an even more pragmatic solution? Get rid of graduation ceremonies altogether. Let the religious students go to their church/mosque/temple/whatever of choice if they want a ceremony and the taxpayer doesn't have to foot the bill for it.

Of course it'd tear the town into separate (but equal) factions but that's probably the true objective of the objectors anyways.
