Although it was just a time to pick up caps and gowns, the energy of a drive-through ceremony Friday for Fairfield High School seniors could have made previous graduating classes in some schools jealous and would put some class reunions to shame.

Horns, confetti, silly string and free pizza were among the things in the air out at the school parking lot just outside Schaefer Stadium, the perfect weather among the positives in the students’ first return to the campus grounds since schools were shuttered during the start of the novel coronavirus pandemic in mid-March.

The event, organized by school activities director and Social Science Department chairwoman Val Quijas, was only expected to draw a handful of staff members to the campus to assist.
