![High school offers the long awaited extra-curricular events that students have been waiting for. Students long for prom, pep rallies, homecoming, sporting events and other school gatherings. However, the class of 2020-2021 wasn’t expecting their senior year to be any different than anyone else’s.
The seniors of Durant High School had to get creative in order to enjoy their last school year before leaving.
An overwhelming number of seniors thought that having Grad Nite and the water wars activity was important to their class as a whole. The graduating class of 2021 had the end of their junior year and senior year impacted because of COVID-19. Many of their events were canceled or altered in a way that made them acceptable according to COVID-19 guidelines.
“A lot of people had said they enjoyed the prom and were grateful to my family for helping to put it on,” said Smith. “[It] let them have a sense of normality in such a weird year.”
“I think that [water wars] was something to look forward to especially this year since we didn’t get anything as a senior class, it was nice for us to be able to do this and have something fun to do,” said Ashtin Hine, a graduating senior.
Seniors graduating this year were happy to have some regular senior activities and events to celebrate their accomplishments.
Congratulations to the graduating class of 2021 and good luck in life no matter where your plans and dreams will end up taking you.
