CLASS OF 2020 VIRTUAL BACCALAUREATE



The class of 2020 Baccalaureate is virtual this year due to the pandemic. The PTSA would like to extend a special thank you to our speakers Druthi Rathi, Rabbi Michael Knopf, and Reverend Doug Forrester for sharing their messages of hope, encouragement, and joy for our graduation seniors. There was also performances by Richard Zhai, Emma Chun, and Alyssa Wright. Thank you to our parent volunteers Julie Hendricks and Jennifer McCluskey for coordinating and putting together this amazing and memorable event. All are welcome to watch the event.


Congratulations to the Class of 2020!
