Recognizing the Class of 2021

What reflections do you have on your unusual senior year? Who was your most memorable teacher, and why? What message do you have for your classmates? Additionally, families can share a photo with the student’s name, school and a few words about future plans that we will post on the district’s social media accounts. Send videos and photos to:
