Project Grad celebrates class of 2020 with car parade

Over half of the graduating students participated, and reflected on what receiving their diploma meant.

Project Grad Knoxville is celebrating its Class of 2020 on Saturday. 

It held a car parade at Pellissippi State Community College's Magnolia Avenue campus for Fulton and Austin-East High School alumni who are receiving their post-secondary diplomas.

20 of the 35 graduating students participated, and said their time with Project Grad made a big difference.

"I knew I was going to college, but Project Grad was that bridge. That bridge to gap, to make my college transition so much easier, and I thank them for it," graduate Tony Gunn said.

The students are graduating from a variety of schools, including the University of Tennessee, East Tennessee State University and Tennessee Tech.
