San Juan Hills High School grads celebrate ‘unforgettable year’ with commencement ceremony

“The Class of 2020 is an unforgettable class in an unforgettable year,” said Brooke Valderrama, activities director at San Juan Hills High School.

San Juan Hills High School held a walk-through graduation procession on Friday, July 24, 2020 at the school campus.

The high school’s graduating seniors sat in the passenger side of their family vehicle to await their graduation time, when they could walk the navy blue carpet to officially graduate and receive their diplomas. From a distance, family members were able to document the moment with photos and videos. All graduates wore face masks at all times, except when on the stage for the ceremony.

Graduation speakers were broadcast online so that everyone could listen.

“The challenges and adversity they faced have no doubt taught them how to persevere, think critically, and build character,” Valderrama said. “My hope is the Class of 2020 reflects on the good times that did occur their senior year: Homecoming, cheering at games, a CIF football championship, pep rallies, plays and performances, clubs, dances, teachers, classes, and friends.”

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