In a poignant and creative ceremony Friday, May 15, the Liberal High School Class of 2020 received their diplomas. Parents and family members were able to drive up and watch their student receive the diploma. It has been a strange year indeed for students of the Liberal R-2 district with the fire that claimed the old high school, shutting down classes for an extended period in the fall and now the suspension of classes due to COVID-19 containment measures. And yet, through it all, the Class of 2020 has maintained a positive attitude and was rewarded for their hard work in the form of the ceremony and the parade through town that followed.
