Even though Wyatt Aldhizer finished up his last assignment at Stuarts Draft High School more than a week ago, it is still difficult to believe that high school is over. He submitted an English paper a week ago Wednesday and that was it.
Now, all he has left to do is walk across the stage Saturday at James Madison University s Bridgeforth Stadium and receive his diploma. I was just telling my parents yesterday how it doesn t feel like I m graduating, said Stuarts Draft s salutatorian. I still feel like I have school work to do. I ve been so school, school, school so much over these last four years, it doesn t seem real to think that I m done and I m on to the next four. It s crazy to think that.
He transferred to Wilson Memorial, but only attended in person for the first two months before COVID-19 closed schools for the rest of the year. This year, McCoy chose to remain a virtual learner, so while he is a Wilson student, he barely got a chance to spend any time in the actual school building. It s not entirely new for me, McCoy said. I actually spent the first two years of high school in Oregon taking all of my classes online.
Although it was short-lived, the experience of being in the classroom last year was exciting for him, the first time he d attended public high school in person.
