Class of 2023… Finally Free

And with the blink of an eye, the Class of 2023 graduated at the SaveMart Center on June 5, 2023. The ceremony began at 4pm and ended just before 6pm. One of the student speakers, Kyle Yang, called out the bizarre high school career faced by this class. From the March 13, 2020 “Extended Spring Break” to the online learning, this group of students proved they can adapt to whatever life has to offer.
