Congratulations, Christian Rorer, Carl Sandburg High School Class Of 2021
Before this year's seniors head on to that next step in their lives, we want to take a moment to let their stars shine here on Patch.

ORLAND PARK, 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.
Christian Rorer will graduate from Carl Sandburg High School.

Plans after graduation: Christian plans to pursue a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree.
Accomplishments: Christian has worked very hard through high school. He has maintained excellent grades in advanced coursework, overcome the adversity of injuries to rise up the ranks as an ice hockey goaltender and engaged in the workforce since the day he turned 16. While motivated and driven, he remains most notably humble and kind.
