Congratulations, Jamie Klepacz, Hinsdale South Class Of 2021

DARIEN, IL — 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.

Jamie Klepacz will graduate from Hinsdale South.

Plans after graduation: Jamie will be attending Western Michigan University and will be majoring in Secondary Special Education.

Accomplishments: Jamie was a 4 year varsity member of the Hinsdale South Competition Danceline team.
