What challenges did the Class of 2022 face as they returned to in-person school full time, and how did they overcome them: There are a number of challenges that our seniors faced throughout this year, but they overcame them by sticking together and supporting one another through it all.

Principal's reflections on the Class of 2022: The Class of '22 provided an unbelievable level of leadership for our underclassmen and for all future students of Cary-Grove. As we returned to full-time, in-person learning, the Class of 2022 led the restoration of what it means to Be C-G by re-establishing our culture, traditions, and sense of togetherness. We are forever grateful for their courage and strength in the face of adversity.

-- Principal Neil Lesinski
