Senior T-shirt Day

By Gregory Marzano


For the last two days of senior week, the Class of 2021 wore their matching senior t-shirts. The t-shirts help to bring the seniors together and feel unified, even while socially distancing and learning remotely. Senior week was an opportunity for the seniors to experience one of the traditional senior events, even though the rest of the school year has been anything but traditional.

“I like how the t-shirts are a way to unite us on the last day of senior week and we’ll always have the shirt to remind us of high school. We stand out from everyone in the school building and it makes me proud wearing the shirt,” said Sophia Lin.

“Although it's sad that we didn't see as many seniors in the building as past years, seeing many of the seniors that did wear the shirts shows that we're all in this together,” said Adithya Krishnan.

"Senior T-shirt day this year was an incredible way for seniors to feel together and commemorate their last year even through all the changes and uncertainties. Although we were separated from friends and teachers, the efforts that the building put into trying to celebrate NHP senior traditions is greatly appreciated," said Jada Seto.
