Patch Honors The Class Of 2020 In Anne Arundel County

ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, MD — Patch wants to provide a way to highlight the achievements of Anne Arundel County high school graduates, even if it's in a small way. With in-person instruction switched to online for the 2019-2020 school year across Maryland due to the coronavirus, high school seniors are missing out on the last moments of what should be a happy, celebratory time.

Anne Arundel County Public Schools' proms have been canceled and graduations may be held virtually. We know many high school seniors are bummed about missing these milestones in what should be an exciting last year of school. We hope that this will give the community a way to share their pride in our Class of 2020 high school graduates. You can find the form here if you'd like to add your graduate. Patch will be updating this form until May 31.

Here are some of the Class of 2020 high school graduates from across Anne Arundel County:
