CONWAY — The Class of 2020 got a lot put on their plates this year. Prom, final exams, graduation, lining up a job for summer — all of those things are up in the air due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It all came to an abrupt halt in March. The new normal is remote learning and uncertainty.
One thing, however, is certain — the community cares deeply about Kennett High Class of 2020, and plans are in the works to give the Eagles new memories to cherish.
