Honoring The Class Of 2021: Antonio Vargas Of St. Laurence

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 pay tribute to this year’s grads using a special submission form so we can publish those tributes one by one.

Antonio Vargas will graduate from St. Laurence.

Plans after graduation: Going to Lawrence University in Wisconsin

Accomplishments: Varsity Football all 4 years, Wrestling, Track, and A Honor Roll.

Special message: Congratulations Antonio! You’ve made us all very Proud! Go confidently in the direction of your dreams!! Love Mom and Dad
