Congratulations, Oxford High School Grad Grace Mahmood

OXFORD, CT — 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.

Grace Mahmood will graduate from Oxford High School.

Plans after graduation: Attending the University of Maine at Farmington to study Psychology and Visual Art with the intention of pursuing a career in Art Therapy. Has committed to compete for their women's soccer and Alpine Ski teams

Accomplishments: Honor Roll Student, Presidential Award recipient for Academic Achievement, Varsity member of Soccer, Alpine Skiing, and Track & Field teams, 3x All State Team selection for Alpine Skiing, Student Council, Link Orientation Crew, Drama Club.

Special message: It's been wonderful to watch you explore, grow, and develope into the active, creative, thoughtful young woman you are. We can't wait to see how you take on the next four years! Love you beyond all telling! Mom, Dad, and Kalled
