Thursday afternoon, the seniors of San Clemente High School, wearing the red and white of school colors along with caps and tassels, planned their driver or walk graduation along Del Mar.

Though their school was closed due to coronavirus, their pier and streets have lately been the focus of civil unrest, this class of graduates intends on being recognized for their achievements.
