Senior Summa & Awards
Celebrating the achievements of the Class of 2020
Opening as a high school in 2001, Webster Thomas has developed quite a few traditions over the years. One of my favorite is the Summa Breakfast which we hold each spring. A unique feature of the event is the Outstanding Senior from the previous year coming back to talk to the graduating Summas about their first year in college and some tips and tricks to navigating that first year away from home.
Obviously, this year brought a challenge to this process, but with the help of technoloy and the motivation of our alumni to keep traditions alive, here is the Summa Speech to the Class of 2020. A HUGE thank you to 2019 Outstanding Senior Liam Murphy who put this together.
