Graduating Senior Jake Rauls
GRADUATION LOOKED A WHOLE LOT DIFFERENT THIS YEAR FOR THE CLASS OF 2020 AT SUN PRAIRIE HIGH SCHOOL. Among the things our graduates missed was the opportunity to walk across the stage and celebrate the end of their high school career with an in-person graduation event. Our high school staff was committed to making sure these students were celebrated and received the recognition they deserved for completing their high school career.
CLASS MOTTO: “Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us all the best opportunity for growing into the best of people.”
— Mr. Rogers

We couldn’t let the pandemic get in the way of showing community love to our seniors!
The teachers, staff, and principals of Sun Prairie High School took to the town to honor our seniors! They practiced good social distancing while delivering yard signs to every single senior.
Knowing that we couldn’t have an in-person graduation ceremony this year, we had to get creative. With help from the Sun Prairie Media Center, we held a virtual graduation and aired it on KSUN and on our website on June 12.
On Saturday, August 1, hundreds of members of the class of 2020 showed up at Sun Prairie High School to get photos of themselves onstage. Sun Prairie School Board president, Steve Schroeder, and Sun Prairie High School principal, Keith Nerby, were available to pose with graduates.

Fifth graders across the District missed out on a traditional graduation celebration as well. Their teachers stopped at their homes and dropped off graduation pennants and said their final farewells. Logan was a Youth Apprentice at a UW lab. He will be coauthoring two research papers in the near future. His mom sent a thank-you for the opportunity and expressed how grateful she is, as this experience has been a big part of Logan’s growth as a scientist and a person.
The English Language (EL) Department at Sun Prairie High School surprised the seniors by dropping off goodie bags at their homes.
