Congratulations, Joilynne Dennis, Oak Park Senior High School Class Of 2021

ACROSS MICHIGAN, MI — 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.

Oak Park Senior High School student Joilynne Dennis will graduate this year. Read what loved ones had to say.

Plans after graduation: Oakland Community College

Accomplishments: Majorette Co-Captain.

Special message: Joilynne you are Amazing!! I'm so very proud of you. I know this year was not how you wanted, but life doesn't always go as planned either. You've adapted and persevered. The world is yours anything you want you can get with hard work and faith. I LOVE U!
