Celebrating seniors of 2020 in creative ways

By Christine Bordelon

The coronavirus has turned senior year upside down for the 2020 graduates, but many schools have carried out creative activities to keep traditions alive and senior spirits uplifted.

St. Mary’s Dominican held a graduation invitation drive by recently. Click here to see the video.

Mount Carmel Academy faculty and staff hand-delivered a senior surprise of gift bags filled with a cross, a rosary bracelet, a flash drive with special memories and more to its 2020 seniors while the graduates were dressed in their caps and gowns.

St. Therese Academy held a junior-senior prom in the parking lot with a DJ while everyone practiced social distancing. St. Paul’s School created a video slide show to commemorate the seniors’ last year there. Several schools, like Archbishop Rummel, also had yard signs made to express their love for seniors, and planned virtual graduations, like St. Augustine, before they could reschedule the in-person graduation

Congratulations to all 2020 seniors!
