As the coronavirus pandemic brought the world to its knees in the spring of 2020– shuttering businesses and schools– Kaci Anderson felt deep sympathy for the upperclassmen robbed of proms, traditional graduations, and senior traditions.

“I thought after spring break, honestly, it would be cleared up,” shares Anderson, a graduating senior and student council president at Dallas ISD’s IDEA school: Innovation Design Entrepreneurship Academy.

She also thought that for sure, her senior year would somehow be normal. “You were slowly seeing the world start to change,” she recalls, “and it was starting to dawn on me that it was more serious than I expected it to be.”
