Congratulations, Newark Memorial High School Grad Ethan Lesser

NEWARK, CA — The high school seniors of 2021 have had an experience like no other in a century — a year upended by a pandemic and by lockdowns that kept them from enjoying many of the activities that previous seniors have taken for granted.

Patch hopes to help make it up to those seniors by giving them a special sendoff. We asked parents and other family members to pay tribute to this year’s grads using a special submission form so we can publish those tributes one by one.

Newark Memorial High School student Ethan Lesser will graduate this year.

Plans after graduation: Ohlone College for 2 years to transfer to CSUEB

Accomplishments: Cross Country for 2 years, Summer Camp Volunteer, Honor Roll and Principals List Recipient.

Special message: The best way to predict your future is to create it -Abraham Lincoln.
