Although St. Petersburg’s Lakewood High School Class of 2010 has had to postpone our celebration, we wanted to pause to reflect and offer a few words of encouragement to the graduating Class of 2020.

The Class of 2010 from Lakewood High School is now mostly 28 years old.

Out of our entire graduating class, only 122 of our 226 classmates listed St. Petersburg as their birthplace, another 55 hail from neighboring Florida towns.

Coming from a traditional New England family, Clayton Valentine thoroughly enjoyed fishing off of the Skyway Bridge and jumping off the Vina Del Mar Bridge with classmates who resided on St. Pete Beach.

“Now, between potty training my son and moving into my brand new home with my husband, I’m struggling to find the time to reminisce on my high school days,” reports Amber Thomas Berthelot.
