PHOTOS: Melrose High School Senior Awards Night

On Monday, May 21, held its annual Senior Awards Night in the MVMMS Auditorium. According to MHS teacher Lisa Lord, "this year's celebration featured a significant change from years past—senior award recipients were all seated on the stage, with presenters seated in the audience. As Principal Dan Richards explained, this change allowed us 'to focus the spotlight on the students and their accomplishments' through the entire ceremony."
