‘A special day’ for Dana Hills High School Class of 2020

For the Class of 2020 at Dana Hills High School, graduation was far from what they envisioned at the start of their senior year.

However, the seniors took it in stride, and enjoyed a memorable — and safely distanced — celebration at the school’s campus on July 24.

“As the principal at Dana Hills High School I am so proud of our 2020 seniors and all of their incredible accomplishments over the last four years,” said Principal Brad Baker. “The Class of 2020 will never be forgotten, as no other class in history has had to endure what they did over the past months. Their perseverance and grit are beyond compare.”

“Although the 2020 graduation was not traditional, I believe it truly captured what makes a traditional ceremony so special, it’s the fact that teachers, staff and families are all celebrating our students’ hard work, accomplishments, and most importantly the relationships that were built,” said Principal Brad Baker. “I was honored and humbled to be a small part of such a huge moment for so many! It was a special day, a day none of us will ever forget! Congratulations DHHS class of 2020!”

Students and their families drove up one by one to park in front of the stage and watch their graduate walk up to receive their diploma.

The graduates are listed in alphabetical order following the photo essay.
