Congratulations, Colby Mattas, Joliet Catholic Class Of 2021
Joliet Patch is celebrating this year's seniors for their accomplishments.

JOLIET, 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.
Colby Mattas will graduate from Joliet Catholic.
