C.D.
Hylton
High
School
celebrated
the
Class
of
2021
with
a
senior
sunrise
event.
This
event
has
been
a
Hylton
High
tradition
for
the
past
few
years.
It
is
primarily
a
student-led
event
organized
by
the
senior
class
officers.
This
year
was
challenging
due
to
the
pandemic.
However,
the
class
officers
submitted
a
plan
to
the
administration
that
included
safety
guidelines
and
social-distancing
protocols.
The
class
officers
wanted
to
make
sure
that
they
could
keep
the
same
energy
and
spirit
that
they
had
last
year.
Many
of
the
students
who
had
not
awakened
before
8
a.m.
in
a
long
time,
came
out
early
to
Hylton's
parking
lot
to
watch
the
sunrise
together.
Most
of
the
students
had
not
seen
their
classmates
and
friends
since
March,
so
they
were
excited
for
the
event.
Students
decorated
their
cars,
danced
to
music
provided
by
Assistant
Principal
Tony
Switzer,
and
took
pictures
under
a
balloon
arch.
Enjoying
this
time
together
brought
back
a
sense
of
community
and
comradery.
Assistant
Principal
Betsy
Campagna
shared,
"There
was
a
great
turnout.
The
event
fostered
a
sense
of
hope,
positivity,
and
social
distanced
togetherness
for
the
Class
of
2021."
Senior
Class
President
Jackie
Mitchell
summed
the
event
up
by
stating,
"All
of
us
coming
together
to
take
pictures,
listen
to
music,
and
have
fun
with
our
classmates
brought
back
that
sense
of
community
and
spirit
to
Hylton.
Taking
pictures
under
the
balloon
arch,
wearing
our
senior
class
shirts,
and
seeing
decorated
cars
and
posters
made
the
event
a
memory
that
will
last
a
lifetime.
The
pandemic
can't
stop
the
class
of
2021."
