Patch Honors PG County Graduates: Congrats, Class Of 2020

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD —Patch wants to provide a way to share the achievements of our high school graduates, even if it's in a small way. With in-person instruction canceled through May 15 due to the coronavirus in Maryland public schools, seniors are missing out on the last moments of what should be a celebratory time.

We know many high school seniors are missing milestone high school events, and we hope that this will give the community a way to share their pride in our class of 2020 high school graduates.
