Congratulations, York High School Grad Michael Treida

ELMHURST, IL — The high school seniors of 2021 have had an experience like no other in a century — a year upended by a pandemic and by lockdowns that kept them from enjoying many of the activities that previous seniors have taken for granted.

Patch hopes to help make it up to those seniors by giving them a special sendoff. We asked parents and other family members to pay tribute to this year’s grads using a special submission form so we can publish those tributes one by one.

Michael Treida will graduate from York High School.

Plans after graduation: Elmhurst University to pursue Business

Accomplishments: High Honors earning college academic scholarships.

Special message: We are very proud of Michael in his ability to stay focused on his academics given this challenging pandemic we are all faced with. He showed tremendous passion and perseverance in maintaining his high standards he set for himself. Good luck Michael!
