Ryley Hasenack, 18, leads the line of seniors waving and cheering for teachers as they drive through the Jackson Hole High School parking lot to receive gifts on May 7. Hole Quarantine, Jackson Hole Pop and Smith’s donated gift cards, popcorn and flowers to give to the teachers.

Resilient Class of 2020 rises to the challenge Instead of despairing over canceled proms, seniors took the disrupted end of high school in stride.

By Tom Hallberg

During the seniors’ thank you, Julie Tomich, an English teacher at Jackson Hole High School, surprises some of her students May 10 by stepping out of her car and revealing that she is pregnantu. She had not seen her students for nearly two month, so none of them knew she was expecting.

ation. Firefighters and other community members regaled graduates —all 220 of them — at West Craven High School in

North Carolina at their homes after their graduation was canceled. Two Alabama high schools still held normal gradua-

t wasn’t supposed to end like this.

Usually the end of senior year is replete with ritual. Senior Skip Day. AP tests. Pranks. Prom. Graduation.

Students spend their primary and secondary school experiences ramping up toward it, watching older siblings, cousins and friends walk across the stage, seeing senior photos on the mantel or bookshelf.

Such rites aren’t indicative of students’ academic experience, but they are intrinsically tied to their feelings about them.

Environmental psychologists talk about a concept called place attachment, an emotional connection to a location developed through meaningful experiences. Part of a typical senior’s educational experience is the end-of-year ritual.

Not so for the Class of 2020.

“It feels really anticlimactic,” senior Lily Duquette said.

Gone are pretty much all the communal events and congratulatory banners hung in hallways. In their place is distance education, a measure taken to help slow the spread of the coronavirus.

Rather than celebrating with friends, students have been glued to computers working on final assignments. That fact could be cause for self-pity. It could mar the end of their high school careers.

Instead, most are taking it in stride.

“There’s bigger things happening in the world than like a prom right now,” senior Sterling Smith said.

Despite their matter-of-factness about the odd time they are graduating in, the fact remains that these seniors are finishing school in a time like no other.

“It’s honestly pretty sad,” senior Anna Brown said. “I think we’re making the most of it, but it’s a little strange. It doesn’t quite feel real. It does feel we are missing out on milestones.”

One of those landmarks, perhaps the most important, is graduation. Schools across the country canceled their ceremonies, while some adopted unconventional means to celebrate their kids.
