Loudoun Now’s Spotlight on Grads
Congrats, Class of 2017, from the team at Loudoun Now.
Our Spotlight on Grads series is our way of highlighting just a few of the graduating seniors who have changed the cultural landscape in our corner of the world.
As part of this special section, we met and interviewed students who have experienced homelessness, the death of parents or severe illnesses and come out on the other side. Others have launched mentoring programs, aced the SATs and led efforts to curb suicide among their peers.
Each of these graduates has left their communities better than they found them, and they’re just getting started. Join us in congratulating these exceptional individuals, their families and classmates—their resilience and perseverance is inspiration for us all.
