FALL RIVER — As the nation and world witnessed Joe Biden realize his decades-long dream of becoming president of the United States and the swearing-in of Kamala Harris, the country’s first female vice president, students at area high schools watched along, taking in the historic moment.
At Joseph Case High School in Swansea, students were welcome to watch the Inauguration Day events during their lunch breaks in the auditorium where they were viewing it live throughout the day. Principal Brian McCann said anytime the school has a chance to bring the community together to witness history during the school day, whether it's a Presidential inauguration, a World Series or Super Bowl parade they find a way to make it happen.
