Congratulations to the class of 2020, everyone knows the end of their last year in high school has been stressful but we’re proud of all of you. This senior class is filled with hard-working, talented students, and the Senior Awards Ceremony was all about them. “The Senior Awards Ceremony acknowledges dedicated and committed students that conscientiously made a lot of great choices and sacrifices, choosing success,” says Brentwood High principal Dr. Ed Johnson. “I could not be more proud of each senior celebrated for their accomplishments.”
Brentwood college and career counselor, Emily Diaz, watches the show from home.
The 55 students in the class of 2020 have been offered a total of $2,338,010 in scholarships, and the rest of the community could not be more excited for them. Assistant principal Stephen Ayotte explains, “This Senior class has endured some very trying times during this last year of high school, but they have never stopped impressing me with their grit and perseverance in the face of these challenges. I am so proud of all they have done and excited for all they will do in the future.”
