Never in the history of the world has the entire planet been quarantined for months on end. Recent technology that has allowed us to communicate and learn virtually has given everyone a new learning experience; some loved virtual learning and some not so much. However, our graduating seniors survived and even thrived, and I believe we all are looking forward to the upcoming fall as a return to some kind of normalcy, or at least a “new normal.” True to our Roeper tradition, our graduating seniors are choosing as their future plans destinations as unique as our students themselves: our 42 seniors will be attending 28 completely different places, from Boston to LA, from New York to Dallas, from the UP to New Orleans! At least four students have chosen to take a gap year, both locally and globally. We are so proud of our seniors; they have proved to be resilient and empathic and will be well equipped to meet new challenges in the future. Congratulations to you all!
