Almost 300 high school seniors received their diplomas Friday in Uvalde in the shadow of the massacre of 19 elementary school students and two teachers one month earlier.
The 288 red-gowned Uvalde High School seniors sat in 100-degree heat at the school stadium on the one-month anniversary of the mass shootings. Before them were arrayed 21"Uvalde Strong" placards, representing those killed, as school and student leaders spoke.
"Love the people in your life while you have them because you don't know what the future holds for anyone," class valedictorian Abigail Kone said in her address.
