Patch Honors Cherokee High Graduates: Congrats, Class Of 2020

Let's congratulate our class of 2020 high school graduates from Cherokee High School. This is the first installment of grad announcements.

CANTON, GA — Patch wants to provide a way to share the achievements of our high school graduates, even if it's in a small way. With in-person instruction canceled through the rest of the 2019-20 school year due to the coronavirus in Georgia public schools, seniors are missing out on the last moments of what should be a celebratory time.

We know many high school seniors are missing milestone high school events, and we hope that this will give the community a way to share their pride in our class of 2020 high school graduates.

Each high school in Cherokee County will have its own graduation announcement compilation article.
