Congratulations, Demi Edwards, Waltham High School Class Of 2021

WALTHAM, 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 to pay tribute to this year’s grads using a special submission form so we can publish those tributes one by one.

Waltham High School student Demi Edwards will graduate this year.

Plans after graduation: To teach, support, and love severely special needs children

Accomplishments: She has endured two major surgeries while matriulating through an very difficult program with a double major and incredible grades (All A's and 1 A-). Her heart and soul are with beieving in that population of children and helpign them achieve their highest potential.

Special message: Dear Demi~You have humby and quietly forged through an extremely difficult Master's program while enduring much pain, suffering, surgery and set backs. You are my heroine and my hero. I learn so much from you by the way you "take the high road".
