Graduation 2020: Patterson High student list, words from students, principal

School Name: Patterson High School

Number of graduates: 364

Valedictorians: Jessica Trans

Words from ASB President Jacinda Hernandiz: “The thing that I will miss most about my senior year is how united our senior class was. Throughout our events during high school, our class was always supportive of one another. Even through these difficult times, we have remained optimistic and connected with each other. I will miss not getting to celebrate our final events with my class and having a proper send off as we all go our separate ways in the fall.”

Words from Principal David Smith: “Although the Class of 2020 hasn’t enjoyed the send off it deserves, it has learned a valuable lesson about life not always going according to plan and the importance of being flexible. The Patterson High Class of 2020 has handled the end of its career with grace and perseverance, both of which will undoubtedly serve them as they begin life after high school. I have no doubt that the Class of 2020 will face future adversity head on and conquer any obstacles in their way. Congratulations to all of our seniors. Go Tigers!”
