Saluting The Class Of 2021: Kayla Keats Of Highland Park High School
Before this year's graduates head on to that next step in their lives, we want to take a moment to let their stars shine here on Patch.
HIGHLAND PARK, 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 pay tribute to this year’s grads using a special submission form so we can publish those tributes one by one.
Kayla Keats will graduate from Highland Park High School.
