(Amanda Cowan/The Columbian) Photo Gallery Few long-standing high school traditions have been able to stick during this unusual school year, but Skyview High School made one happen Monday: the human tunnel. “That’s been a tradition as long as I can remember,” senior Elle Tangvald said. Skyview’s student leadership and cheerleaders formed a human tunnel — socially distanced, of course — to greet the Storm’s student body as they finally returned to their school building on a twice-weekly schedule. High schools in Vancouver, plus the Battle Ground and Hockinson school districts, welcomed all high school students back into classrooms nearly a year to the day when schools were closed because of coronavirus concerns: March 13, 2020.
