Instead of delivering her speech from center stage inside the Schottenstein Center on Ohio State University’s campus, Madison Voinovich, the valedictorian of her class, spoke in her school’s empty auditorium for a film crew.
" graduations to cap the year off for grads, Hammond said the absence of a traditional ceremony made for an anticlimactic end to high school when her school held its virtual graduation last month.
Nadezhda"Dezzie" Niemann, the second valedictorian graduating from Cincinnati's Clark Montessori, attended her school's 2019 graduation. During the speeches, she felt a closeness with her community, something her school emphasizes. Sarah Morbitzer, 18, valedictorian of Hamilton Township High School in Columbus, Ohio, lamented the loss of the “last time we’ll do this together moments” that every other high school senior experiences.
For Voinovich, being valedictorian was something she'd worked toward for years, juggling courses on Otterbein University’s campus with her other coursework and responsibilities as a class officer in charge of communications. She will attend Ohio State in the fall to double major in economics and public policy and hopes to enroll in law school.
