High school honor graduates announced

Valedictorians and salutatorians have been chosen at four Barry County High Schools, ending an academic year which can easily be labeled as bizarre. During a time when Seniors typically experience a whirlwind of activities, culminating in the opportunity to begin summer vacation a bit earlier than the underclassmen, this year’s seniors were summarily dismissed from school without the opportunity for closure on 12 years of what they will someday look back on with fond memories.
This year’s graduates will hold the singular distinction, we hope, of being the class brought up short by COVID-19. They will easily remember the year the virus descended on the United States. “Oh, yes,” they will say, “that was the year I graduated from high school.”
Holding high honors among Barry County’s 2020 high school graduates are the following students.
