Thunderbird Adventist
Academy Celebrates 100th
Graduating Class
This year marked the 100th graduating class from Thunderbird Adventist Academy (TAA). What was to be a traditional weekend-long graduation celebration for the Class of 2020 was instead a one-night graduation ceremony for Thunderbird Adventist Academy centennial Class of 2020. On Thursday, June 18th, pomp and circumstance played and the seniors marched. While attendance was limited and masks were standard fashion, the class was able to celebrate this memorable milestone together. The program was livestreamed by GoodNews TV for those who were unable to attend the festivities.
