Class of 2020 Senior Profiles: HR113

In the days leading up to the June 12 UPHS Class of 2020 Farewell/Diploma Pick-up Ceremony, the Upper Perkiomen School District will feature every graduating member of the Class of 2020. We gave students the opportunity to add to their profiles and share a little bit about their experiences at Upper Perk, as well as their future plans. Each day, leading up to June 12, we will feature a small number of senior homerooms so our community can learn more about each graduate.

Read on to find out more about the students in HR113.
