Capistrano Valley High School set the stage for graduation with “CAPO2020” signage as the backdrop for students to walk up and receive their diploma.
Students approached the red carpet to the stage one at a time, with family staying in their vehicles at a safe distance while cheering them on. Many decorated their cars or trucks and brought balloons, signs, and flowers to honor their graduates.
“What makes this class stand out to me is: They had nearly an entire semester, perhaps the one that most high school students look forward to the most, and there was not a single complaint from them,” Principal John Misustin said. “Every student I spoke with offered and asked if there was anything they could do to help each other, their teachers and their school. I think it really demonstrates what an amazing group of people they are, I really saw how much they value and want to support each other in their school community. As I look back it was really great to see them confident in using their voice for what they believe in.”
The graduates are listed in alphabetical order following the photo essay.
