Congratulations, Zaden Viola, Melrose High School Class Of 2021

MELROSE, MA — 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.

Melrose High School student Zaden Viola will graduate this year.

Plans after graduation: University of Maine Orono

Accomplishments: AP classes in History, Science, English & Government. Mock trial, Italian club & Trivia club

Special message: Zaden, we are so proud of you and wish you a wonderfully successful college experience! Love Mom, Dad & Zoë
