The accomplishments of 25 graduating students from Miami School will be celebrated today.

2020 class Co-Valedictorian Jillian Livingston describes the Miami school's graduating group as a very caring class.

"We have two kids with special needs in our class and everybody really rallies around them. It just has made us closer because we are all for a common goal. We want to see each other succeed, all of us," says Livingston.

Livingston says in times like the current pandemic, her class carries that light-hearted, positive attitude.

She says her classmates all stayed connected online, and reached out to each other for help and to help one another with schoolwork over the last few months.

Tavish Stockford, Miami School's other Co-Valedictorian says despite every hardship that their class, families, and community has endured over the last few months, he finds it's important to appreciate what they do have during these troubling times. Stockford says that is the main advice he wants to pass onto to his fellow classmates.

"Personally I'm glad that I have a healthy family, friends, a roof over my head, and food to eat. Lots of people across the entire world, they don't have that luxury."

As the Class of 2020 from Miami school graduates and prepares for one of the largest transitions in their lives, Stockford said if they want to be successful in the coming years and be happy, "we're going to have to keep our heads up high."

An in-person ceremony to celebrate each graduate of Miami school individually will be held today in the school's gym. The ceremonies will be recorded and the school plans to eventually post them online.
