Led by Reverend Bryan Warner of Wayside Emmanuel Church, Baccalaureate was coordinated by clergy representing places of worship within the boundaries of Neshannock Township. A blessing via live video conferencing was offered on the evening of June 3rd, and many members of the senior class participated. It was wonderful to see our students in their caps and gowns. Given the circumstances, this traditional ceremony was anything but traditional, and we are incredibly grateful to the many individuals involved in making this virtual event a memorable one for the Class of 2020.
