The 30 graduating seniors at Poplar Springs High School in Graceville, Florida, may not physically be on campus, but their presence is felt thanks to their principal's tribute to the Class of 2020.

Principal Farica West told WMBB News 13 she felt terrible knowing the seniors will miss "memorable moments" like prom and graduation, occasions that "we all hold near and dear to our hearts throughout our whole lives." While thinking of ways to honor to the students, West began to imagine large portraits of each senior lining the road leading to the school.
