Congratulating The Class Of 2021: Connor McGuire Of Shelton High School

SHELTON-DERBY, 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.

Shelton High School student Connor McGuire will graduate this year.

Plans after graduation: Connor will be attending Coastal Carolina University in the fall. He will be majoring in Interdisciplinary Studies, focusing on Sports Management and Sports Journalism.

Accomplishments: Connor plays lacrosse and basketball. He started out in the Shelton Youth Lacrosse program and completed his forth year on the boys lacrosse team at SHS. Connor also played for Make-a-Wish lacrosse as well as the Oilers lacrosse teams. Connor also played one year of basketball at SHS, but mostly enjoyed playing rec basketball for the town of Shelton.

Special message: Congratulations on your graduation and best of luck at CCU!
