猛料原创 Public Schools returned to in-person ceremonies for the class of 2021, which was the right decision for these graduating seniors. Accommodations were made to control the size of the gatherings in order to balance the need for a celebration to mark this triumphant milestone. Of course, the common theme was 'you made it.' These graduates truly earned a celebration. They endured to the finish through a full year of online instruction, adapting to hybrid instructional scenarios mid-year, unexpected weather days just as in-person learning was available, and intermittent water outages at some but not all schools. At least we all know one thing for sure: this generation is adaptable and ready for anything and everything that comes; they are pandemic-proven.
Below are some highlights from this year's Class of 2021 Celebration.
