Graduates have shown strength, resolve in pandemic times

The joyous graduation celebrations of Frederick’s high schools and colleges are back at Mount St. Mary’s University for the first time since 2019, and it is worth remembering something: These students have been through a lot. At Frederick High School’s ceremony in the Mount’s Knott Arena, home to FCPS graduations for decades but not since 2019, the choir once again sang the classic Simon & Garfunkel song “Bridge Over Troubled Water.”
