Ash Grove seniors finally set sail

Remarkable academic year comes to close with graduation ceremony
The Ash Grove class of 2020 held their formerly postponed graduation the evening of Friday, June 26, al fresco at their alma mater’s football stadium. Although the students were spaced appropriately for social distancing on the track, the friends and family in the stands were much more sardine than socially distant.
The graduation ceremony also included an awards and scholarship presentation, which had previously been canceled due to COVID concerns.
