The graduating senior class of 2021 at El Molino High School faced some of the most daunting challenges of any in recent history, academically, athletically and socially.
Yet, most navigated these obstacles with grace and resilience, determined not to let the COVID-19 health crisis and required distance learning tarnish their overall high school experience. Throw in the looming specter of school consolidation and closure and the just completed school year was the most challenging since El Molino opened in 1964.Â
The student-athletes selected in this issue were among the best and brightest of their graduating class and all had one thing in common- they represented their school and teams with tremendous talent, skill and sportsmanship.Â
Although there were too many seniors to list, we congratulate all of the athletes for their accomplishments and pay tribute to a few with words and pictures.Â
The following is part one of a two-part series featuring the graduating female student/athletes of El Molino.Â
