Class of 2021
COMMENCEMENT
Sunday, June 13 | T-Mobile Park
A fitting end to a remarkable year, the Class of 2021 came together on Sunday, June 13 at T-Mobile Park to celebrate this brilliant, resilient class. The Bush School 2021 Commencement was a day filled with joy, love, and reflections on the exceptional leadership of a class that together faced the challenges of the pandemic. The scale of the setting seemed fitting for the scale of the moment as together we watched graduates walk across the stage. T-Mobile Park partnered with schools across our region to allow graduates, families, faculty, and school administrators to come together in a safe outdoor setting to celebrate 2021 graduates. Congratulations to the Class of 2021!
