Celebrating Detroit Schools Class of 2020

Congratulations to the Detroit Graduating Class of 2020!

We’re thrilled to present Detroit’s high schools with graduating seniors in 2020 — one of the most unique graduating classes in history. These students worked hard and persevered, even in the face of a pandemic that upended life as we know it, to hit a major milestone. Their graduation may not have been what they hoped for, but they have every reason to be hopeful about their futures.

In celebration, we’ve created custom commencement videos for 24 Detroit schools. It’s the sincere hope of the Detroit College Access Network (DCAN) and its partners — Grand Valley State University Charter Schools Office, The Skillman Foundation, the Community Education Commission and the City of Detroit — that these videos are a cherished keepsake of all that these students have accomplished. We applaud them today, and we expect them to do great things in the future!

Looking for more resources on understanding your financial options to pay for school? If you haven’t done so already, be sure to learn more about the Detroit Promise, a last-dollar funding opportunity provided to eligible students to cover the costs of tuition and mandatory fees. As a last-dollar scholarship, any Pell or TIP funding will always be applied to a student’s bill first. Learn more about your potential eligibility and how to qualify for Detroit Promise.

Interested in helping your class and future generations lead change? Take 5-10 minutes to complete the 2020 Census with or for your family. The 2020 Census counts every person living in the United States and five U.S. territories. Responding to the census is not only your civic duty, it also affects the amount of funding your community receives, how your community plans for the future, and your representation in government. Complete the Census here.
