Congratulations, Santa Monica High School Grad Justine Recor

SANTA MONICA, 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.

Santa Monica High School student Justine Recor will graduate this year.

Plans after graduation: George Washington University, Washington, DC

Accomplishments: Justine is an editor of the Samohi newspaper, tutors in Spanish and French and leads community service activities.

Special message: We can't wait to see where you'll go from here. We love you!
