CONWAY — The Kennett High Class of 2022 will likely receive its diplomas at the school’s Gary Millen Stadium next June.
The previous two senior classes got theirs after riding a chairlift to the summit of Mount Cranmore in North Conway. While the current class was split between a mountaintop or traditional graduation, scheduling solved that issue.
