COMMENCEMENT 2020
A Graduation Like No Other Commencement could not be held at school since Penn Charter's campus closed last spring because of the coronavirus pandemic. The 112 members of the Class of 2020 graduated on Saturday, June 6, in a one-of-a-kind, virtual and prerecorded ceremony streamed online to the graduates and hundreds of their family and friends. “You have been and are a remarkable class,” Head of School Darryl J. Ford said in remarks he recorded earlier in the week from PC's back patio, the traditional setting of PC Commencement. Ford listed the academic, artistic, athletic and service achievements of the class and acknowledged that the graduation was occurring as the country was experiencing not only the pandemic but social protest from coast to coast.
