Patch Honors McLean, Tysons Graduates: Congrats Class Of 2020

MCLEAN, VA — Virginia Patch wants to provide a way to share the achievements of our graduates at high schools in McLean and Tysons, even if it's in a small way.

With in-person instruction canceled for the rest of the 2019-2020 school year in Virginia due to the new coronavirus, high school seniors are missing out on the last moments of what should be a happy, celebratory time. Many proms and graduations have been postponed, and we know many high school seniors are feeling sadness about missing these milestone high school events.

We hope that this will give the community a way to share their pride in our Class of 2020 high school graduates. You can find the form here if you'd like to add your graduate. Patch will be updating this form until May 31.
