Congratulations, Orland Park Grad Nakya Mason

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.

Orland Park student Nakya Mason will graduate this year.

Plans after graduation: Tennessee State University

Accomplishments: NaKya has maintained an A average throughout her senior year. She is part founder of the BLACK STUDENT UNION, Varsity Track and Field shot put. Nakya has also been a asset to the Orlando Park community while holding down a Part Time job...Go
