As La Serna High School seniors approach the final days of their high school career, La Serna is finding ways to safely recognize 576 members of the Class the 2020, their accomplishments over the last four years and their ability to persevere under the most unexpected circumstances.
Following social distancing guidelines and facial covering requirements, La Serna meticulously organized grab-and-go opportunities to provide seniors their graduation packages, which included caps and gowns, medals and yard signs on May 19. The signs were sponsored by the Whittier Union High School District Educational Foundation.
La Serna’s Class of 2020, which includes 576 seniors, is led by Cole Aedo, who is attending Cal Tech; Samantha Lim, who is heading to UC Berkeley; Elizabeth Vazquez, who will attend Johns Hopkins University; Katelyn Nye and Isabela Angulo, both of whom are attending UCLA.
Graduations have been postponed until late July to give seniors time to make up any classes necessary during summer school and allow extra time for public health restrictions to be eased.
