Oswego Patch Honors Graduates: Tell Us About The Class Of 2020

OSWEGO, IL — With in-person instruction canceled for the rest of the 2019-20 school year in Illinois due to the coronavirus, high school seniors are missing out on the last moments of what should be a happy, celebratory time. Many proms and graduations have been postponed, and we know many high school seniors are feeling sadness about missing these milestone high school events.

Oswego Patch wants to provide a way to share the achievements of our high school graduates, even if it's in a small way. We're asking parents and families to fill out a short form for their graduate, and Patch will compile the information and share it on an ongoing basis throughout the month of May.
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, or fill it out at the bottom of this article.
