The week in photos – July 9, 2020

The West Haven High School Class of 2020 had a unique Drive-Thru graduation ceremony last week. On both days intermittent showers were in the forecast, and sometimes put a damper on the proceedings.

The West Haven High School Class of 2020 ended its secondary school careers in a way similar to the way their senior year developed – in an unusual way. Forced by COVID-19 restrictions to a virtual commencement exercise earlier in June, most of the seniors and their families took part in a Drive-Thru Graduation, June 29 and 30. It gave the families and the graduates an opportunity to have some semblance of a “walk” to receive their diplomas. Fighting intermittent showers and threats of rain on both days, the class was able to come through it all with the same stoic attitude that characterized them all year.

The West Haven tax office’s new window service features large tents and a plywood staging area, along with a plywood ramp and walkway, on the Campbell Avenue side of City Hall to give taxpayers access to three windows to pay their taxes. The next-door assessor’s office has also been outfitted with a window as part of a smaller staging area and tent to allow staff to assist residents with services.
