Schools

Parents, families, siblings and friends of Morgan Hill Unified School District’s Class of 2020 lined a Saturday morning parade route cheering on more than 600 graduates from three high schools.

These students have navigated the labyrinth of high school hurdles, and we are inspired by their optimistic outlook, refreshing attitudes and heartfelt honesty. We celebrate them, their families, their mentors and all the graduating seniors in the Class of 2020.

While most high schools in the area will conduct online graduation ceremonies due to Covid-19 restrictions on large gatherings, Oakwood School has decided to postpone its celebration and conduct an in-person commencement on Aug. 1.

Their teachers, principals and district administrators are confident the graduating teens can meet the tasks ahead and leave an encouraging mark on the world.

Morgan Hill Unified School District and the local community will honor the high school class of 2020 with a Saturday morning parade featuring hundreds of new graduates.

Local nonprofit and public organizations teamed up to honor Morgan Hill’s class of 2020 by displaying banners with all the graduates’ photos throughout the city’s downtown.

Morgan Hill’s Dean Tran, a senior at Sobrato High School, was one of only 161 students nationwide named a 2020 U.S. Presidential Scholar.

Supporters of Live Oak and Sobrato High Schools’ 2020 graduates have been busy selling yard signs for proud parents to let their neighbors know their senior is about to graduate.

Morgan Hill Unified School District announced this week that the Class of 2020 is heading in the virtual direction for its high school graduation ceremonies.
