Dr. Michael M. Krop Senior High School Honors Class of 2020

MIAMI, FL — Miami-Dade County Public Schools and Dr. Michael M. Krop Senior High School are honoring the Class of 2020 to coincide with the school's virtual graduation on June 10.

The school is highlighting two students below who represent the achievements of the entire graduating class.

Kenneth Cula

Kenneth Cula embodies the story of the immigrant and dreamer who came to this country to succeed. He originally arrived with his father, who sadly has passed away.

Now, thanks to help from his sister, Kenneth has excelled academically. He was the Silver Knight nominee for Digital & Interactive Media. He is also an AP Scholar and an AP Capstone Diploma recipient.

Kenneth will be attending Cornell University in the fall.

Ethan Levy

Ethan Levy is all about science. For three consecutive years, Ethan represented Miami-Dade County Public Schools at the International Science & Engineering Fair, winning special awards at each one. He is a National AP Scholar and a Silver Knight Nominee in Science. He is also a Regeneron Science Talent Search 2020 Scholar, a very exclusive honor since he is one out of only 300 students to receive this honor nationally.

Ethan is attending Johns Hopkins University in Fall 2020 thanks to a $40,000 scholarship and
the fact that he is at the Top 1% of his graduating class.

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.
