Be the Light car parade honors King's Class of 2020

On Friday, May 8, 2020 at 20:20 military time, parents, grandparents, friends, and graduates of the King's High School graduating class of 2020 lined up for a car parade.

The celebratory parade honored three very special groups that have been deeply affected by the Covid 19 pandemic:

1. The King’s Senior Class of 2020
2. The participants, coaches, advisors and families of spring programs cut short by closures and cancellations. These include King’s Soccer, CyberKnights Robotics, Golf, Speech and Debate, Orchestra, Tennis, Baseball, Track and Field, DECA, Mock Trial, Living Faith, Musical and KHS Live.
3. Residents and staff of CRISTA Senior Living – our campus neighbors who are at an elevated risk due to the coronavirus and the heroes that are serving and supporting our residents.

Highlights of the parade included:
