Summer vacation has officially arrived for the town’s school kids and teens. The school year was undoubtedly unusual due to all the COVID-19 restrictions, but kudos to the students, parents, staff, faculty, and administration for making it through a challenging year.
Congratulations and lots of well wishes go out to Montgomery Area High School’s class of 2021. May all your dreams come true!
