GREENFIELD — The Greenfield-Central High School gym was a sea of blue and gold as the Class of 2024 gathered to collect their diplomas Saturday.
Outgoing principal Jason Cary told the graduates what a special class they were, shining bright throughout four years marked by unpredictability.
The graduating seniors started high school July 20, 2020, just over four months after the onset of the COVID pandemic as vaccines and rapid tests flooded the market and online learning, social distancing and quarantine guidelines vacillated from month to month.
Over the next four years, the Class of 2024 would rise above the challenges and embrace a high school experience that was uncommon yet nonetheless memorable for all the positive aspects high school brings.
As juniors and seniors the class enjoyed unrestricted proms and other milestone events, like a class campout, brunch and other festivities near the end of their senior year.
A total of 330 graduates received their diplomas on Saturday, collectively turning their tassels from right to left at the end of Saturday’s hour-long ceremony, as parents and grandparents cheered and perhaps wiped away a few tears as graduates tossed their royal blue caps high into the air in the high school gym.
The sun then shined down on the graduating class as the predicted rain held off long enough for graduates to gather for pictures with family and friends on the lawn outside the gym following the ceremony.
