MIAMI, FL — Miami-Dade County Public Schools and William H. Turner Technical Arts High School (Turner Tech) are honoring the Class of 2020 to coincide with the school's virtual graduation on June 15.

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

Conceptia Boudeau

Conceptia Boudeau endured the death of her mother in the tenth grade and used that event to motivate her. Conceptia will graduate from Turner with her high school diploma and her Associate of Arts degree from Miami Dade College in 2020 through the Advanced Scholars Program. She has participated in a number of extracurricular activities such as DECA and the National Honor Society. She also completed a summer internship with the Bankers Camp and has worked as an accounting temp. Additionally, she has amassed over 250 community service hours.

She will continue her studies at the University of Florida in the fall as a candidate for a bachelor’s degree in Accounting. Her career goal is to become a Certified Public Accountant.

Sadre Campbell

Sadre Campbell will be the first to attend college in his family when he enters Dartmouth in the fall.

Sadre is the oldest of nine and has lived half of his life with his grandmother, whom he supports financially. Sadre has attended schools in the urban core of Miami and excelled. He struggled with Internet connectivity and technological issues and received an Internet hot spot in the seventh grade personally from Superintendent Alberto Carvalho. He has since thrived, becoming a student spokesperson for the Sprint One Million campaign, speaking across the country about the importance of digital connectivity.

Sadre has a 4.7 GPA, served as the 2020 SGA President, DECA President, National Honors Society President, FBLA District Vice-President, Miami-Dade Youth Commissioner District 2, and Florida Christian Association President among other positions.

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.
