In a significant return to normalcy, hundreds of Scottsdale Unified School District seniors celebrated years of hard work with a special time honored tradition: Graduation.
After formal graduations for Class of 2020 graduates were skipped by SUSD and various districts nationwide during the last academic school year, due to the pandemic, efforts were made by district leaders to ensure commencements were in person this year.
“It is hard to put into words just how special it was to be able to hold our graduation ceremonies in person this year. While graduation is always a highlight of each year, to be able to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of the Class of 2021 together, with them last week, was quite moving,” SUSD Superintendent Dr. Scott A. Menzel said to the Independent.
