WOW, it's finally graduation day. We are overflowing with #SpudPride for the class of 2021! “In a difficult year that has not been how any of you planned on ending your high school career, I’d like to thank you for the grace and dignity which you have shown through numerous setbacks,” says Moorhead High School Principal, Dave Lawrence.
Congrats, Spuds, you did it. 🧡
To our parents, students, staff: you did it! Today is the last day of school and you are almost done. While the 2020-21 school year brought many challenges, it also allowed our staff to practice flexibility, creativity and teamwork. Our students stepped up and demonstrated impressive collaboration, communication and compassion. The community supported us all with grace, patience and responsibility as we together worked to focus on student success for each of our 6,500 students. You will go down in history, as teachers, staff, students and families that continued and excelled during a global pandemic. Thank you to all Spuds and our community! The work and dedication you have shown during this time, can't be put into words. 🧡 #SpudPride
