Denver Public Schools on Monday handed out honorary diplomas to students displaced by the 2006 closure of Manual High School.
Shanita Lewis always hoped to receive a diploma from Denver’s Manual High School and, on Monday evening, it finally happened — more than a decade after the school temporarily closed and displaced hundreds of students.
Former Manual students, dressed in graduation caps, “walked” across a room at DPS headquarters to accept their diplomas. They were greeted with cheers and whistles from their loved ones in the audience — cheers loud enough to drown out the song “Pomp and Circumstance” that played in the background. Students affected by the closure have said they were not welcomed in their new schools, their education was interrupted as they had to retake classes, and counselors didn’t want to accept their course credits.
More than 500 students were affected by the closure of Manual High. While only a small portion of those students received diplomas Monday, the hope is that others will also be honored in the future, said school board Vice President Auon’tai Anderson.
