Dr. Marvin Dunn Academy For Community Ed. Honors Class of 2020

EL PORTAL, FL — Miami-Dade County Public Schools and Dr. Marvin Dunn Academy For Community Education are honoring the Class of 2020 to coincide with the school's virtual graduation on June 12.

The school is highlighting one student below who represents the achievements of the entire graduating class.

Jennifer Barrios

Jennifer Barrios came to the Dr. Marvin Dunn Academy for Community Education after under performing at her former high school. Before attending Marvin Dunn, she doubted she would earn a high school diploma. Not only is she getting her diploma, she is attending Miami Dade College in the fall. Jennifer is now full of optimism and is grateful to her family and the Marvin Dunn staff for helping her "become the best version of myself". She especially wants to thank Marvin Dunn's Principal, Dr. Deborah A. Carter, for inspiring her to learn and to give her hope to pay it forward.

In an effort to ensure that the Class of 2020 graduates at Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) receive the pomp and circumstance they deserve, the District is holding virtual graduation ceremonies for each high school. The live streaming of each virtual graduation, as well as a schedule of ceremonies and a video archive can be accessed by visiting Classof2020.dadeschools.net. The ceremonies are also televised on WLRN Channel 17.

The virtual commencement ceremonies will be followed by an in-person Class of 2020 celebration at each high school either in the summer or winter, once it is safe to do so under public health guidelines.

In addition to the virtual ceremonies, the District has launched a marketing campaign to highlight outstanding seniors, and invite the community to celebrate graduates on social media using the following hashtags: #MDCPSGrad, #Classof2020, #MeetMDCPSGrads and #SeniorSpotlight.
