ABOUT THIS SPECIAL SECTION High school seniors got robbed of a lot of final moments by the coronavirus. Prom, final sports seasons, the graduation they grew up expecting. We wanted to honor them and the hard work they’ve put in that has brought them to this moment. So, we’ve been asking seniors and their parents to submit photos and to tell us about their next steps and highlights from high school. We have them posted on a digital Senior Wall atTheItem.com and we are now putting them in the paper. This does not represent every high school graduate and may not be everyone who submitted their photo online. To view the Senior Wall online or submit your or your student’s photo, go to www.TheItem.com/2020graduates.
Congratulations to our 2020 Seniors!
