Shortly after the coronavirus pandemic led to the closure of Connecticut schools in March, it looked as if the North Branford High School (NHHS) Class of 2020 might not be able to have an in-person graduation, and the community wouldn’t be able to celebrate the students in the usual style.

Amidst that uncertainty, The Sound committed to publishing this special issue that gives the public a chance to share messages of congratulations with the Class of 2020.

With frequently changing state guidance on public gatherings and no chance of holding the school’s traditional ceremony in front of friends and family, NBHS distributed diplomas to the Class of 2020 through a modified event held outside at NBHS on June 4 and 5. Graduates and their families also participated in a parade through campus on June 11.

Special thanks go to Principal Todd Stoeffler for his assistance in compiling this special issue.
