GREEN RIVER Even a thunderstorm couldn’t stop the Green River High School (GRHS) Class of 2021 from receiving their diplomas Monday night.
The ceremony was supposed to take place outdoors at Wolves Stadium, but due an evening thunderstorm, the graduation was moved indoors to the GRHS gymnasium at the last minute.
Starting an hour later than planned, GRHS got right into their commencement with a quick speech by Master of Ceremonies, Sydney Ferrer, 2020-21 Student Body President. She thanked everyone for being patient with the storm.
