SPHS continued its year-end festivities with the annual Senior Awards Night ceremony streamed virtually on Youtube on Tuesday, June 2. Several local organizations and SPHS faculty took turns honoring seniors with both awards and scholarships as they depart high school.
Seniors applied for many of the scholarships gifted by South Pasadena clubs and programs, while other recipients were nominated or chosen by SPHS students and staff. Award honorees will pick up their certificates in the final Class of 2020 drive-through on Thursday, June 4.
