Gonzales hangs banners to honor recent graduates
City program displays students' plans for college and careers
Gonzales Public Works staff installed 54 new banners around town last month, each featuring a 2020-21 graduate from Gonzales High School plus their plans for college and careers.
This is the third year the city has honored the graduating seniors as they move into their future, calling the banners "Future Focused."
"Students faced many challenges during the 2020-21 school year due to distance learning and Covid restrictions, but they persevered and succeeded, and we are so excited to celebrate them with the Future Focused banners," said Rene Mendez, city manager. "The banners not only celebrate the student's accomplishments, but they also inspire all our youth to focus on the future and achieve academic success."
