Miami Killian Senior High School Honors Class of 2020

MIAMI, FL — Miami-Dade County Public Schools and Miami Killian Senior High School are honoring the Class of 2020 to coincide with the school's virtual graduation on June 9.

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

Laura Guerra-Lopez

Laura Guerra-Lopez aspires to hold a double major in political science and international relations once she enters college.

When she was 16 years old, Laura created a nonprofit organization known as Corazon Contento (Happy Heart Foundation). The goal is to help the people of Venezuela through various projects in the community that help create social awareness.

While at Miami Killian Senior High, Laura was a member of Student Government from 2016-2019. As a senior, she was a Silver Knight, and President of the Social Studies Honor Society and the Model United Nations.

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.
