TOWAMENCIN — 2021: the year that was on the back of our 6th grade hoodies that we thought couldn’t come soon enough, but now, it’s just around the corner.

After seeing the way North Penn handled the class of 2020’s graduation, the class of 2021 was left to wonder what their last time on the turf would look like. With the procession of cars lined up on the track last year, North Penn decided to advert from that this year and take a more traditional route. 

To our surprise, we have been given the opportunity to select a given time on June 12th, and graduate (in seats this time) beside 350 of our closest friends. This opportunity allows North Penn seniors to not only receive their diplomas but congregate together and celebrate the past 12 years of our lives like old times.

In addition to the withstanding plan for graduation this day going forward, Governor Wolf made an update on Monday, May 4th, stating that, effective on May 31st, all restrictions will be lifted except mask-wearing. Updates like these may influence the plans for graduation in a favorable way for North Penn seniors. 

A number of seniors were asked to share their thoughts about the upcoming graduation ceremony.
