We will honor you as individuals and you’ll be a part of a special communal experience online. We are focused on celebration, the sense of occasion, being with friends and recognizing your unique place in human history. The resilient Class of 2021 will be forever immortalized! Our wish is to create a memorable, uplifting moment for you.
