Palm Beach County high school seniors are celebrating plans for in-person graduations in June after all ceremonies went virtual last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Yaemsiriwong can t wait for her big moment. I just felt like the high school experience wasn’t complete unless I walked across the stage, Yaemsiriwong said.
With only a handful of seniors on campus at Dwyer High School right now, Yaemsiriwong said she s looking forward to seeing the class of 2021 all back together again. Most of us haven’t seen each other since last March, so it s going to be really different and everyone’s changed. So that’s what I m really excited for, Yaemsiriwong said. We ve been working on the flower decorating and the chair covers, the program, getting everyone set up for that.
