The Class of 2020 seniors rode in the back of convertibles and pick up trucks to receive their diploma as family and friends cheered on from a distance.

It was not your typical commencement by any means, but it's one this Class of 2020 will never forget.

Calusa Prep is a small private school that had only 10 seniors in the Class of 2020, which made the whole thing possible, and so very special.
