The class of 2022 was lauded for its depth of character, hard work and perseverance Sunday afternoon as families and friends crowded beneath the soaring roof of the Tabernacle.

Ingrid Moore, 2022 valedictorian, and Hardy Eville, 2022 salutatorian, have been classmates since sixth grade at the West Tisbury School.

Valedictorian was not on Ingrid Moore’s mind throughout her four years at the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School. Instead she focused on getting good grades so she could have options.

For the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School class of 2022, the last four years featured a relatively normal freshman year followed by a distinctly abnormal sophomore year at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Graduation ceremonies for the class of 2021 will be held outdoors on the varsity baseball field in June, school officials confirmed this week.

The Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School Class of 2020 will walk across the stage to receive their diplomas on Sunday, in an intimate ceremony.

Students and their families lined Beach Road, with every parking spot filled, from the little bridge to Bend in the Road Beach.

On Tuesday morning, the regional high school graduating class of 2020 entered the school for the last time as high school students — and the first time since the pandemic began.

The class of 2020 will graduate at the Agricultural Society fairgrounds this summer, pending approvals from health authorities.
