View Comments Outside Mt. Pleasant High School, there are 247 lawn signs with the faces of all 247 graduates of the class of 2021. Teachers and staff spent Tuesday morning staking the signs into the ground, reminiscing on students as they pulled face after face from the stacks. “There’s this aura in the air. They made it. We made it,” said Curi Calderon-Lacy, Mt. Pleasant principal. “We survived the year of so many different situations. Every time we turned a corner, we were facing a new challenge, a new way of doing things.” This week marks the start of graduation season for Delaware high school seniors. The practices and ceremonies in the coming days will also mark the first time entire graduating classes have been together, after more than a year kept apart by virtual and hybrid schooling.
