The Senior Sunrise was observed by the class of 2023 on Thursday, October 13. Senior Sunrise marks the beginning of the end of the seniors’ high school journey.

Senior Sunrise, an annual event, is held at the front of the school and is centered around breakfast as a class and forming their last memories with the sunrise as their backdrop.

Ruby Hernandez, senior class president, said that she helped plan the event and felt that even though there are different friend groups amongst the class, they all seemed happy to be there together.

“It signified a lot of unity to me and it was such a candid, fun moment,” Hernadez said.

Dominique Brown, a senior who attended, said that she was really excited about the Senior Sunrise as she really wanted to have a memorable moment with her friends before they all graduate and have to go their separate ways.

 “After having the sunrise, something about that day was just so magical,” Brown said.

Brown thought that having the Senior Sunrise was important because the class was able to celebrate as one as they had finally made it to the beginning of their senior year.
