It's been a crazy two years. We all know that. But, think about this: high schoolers who are about to graduate have been in the pandemic since their sophomore year. As students head back to school after spring break, we check in on how they’re holding up this far into the pandemic.

First, WPLN's Damon Mitchell talks new tech jobs, and how to get ready for them.

  • Damon Mitchell, WPLN Enterprise Reporter

  • Jama Mohamed, Technical Resident at HCA

  • Sandra Williams, Mother

  • Anna Bernstein, LMSW, English ELA educator at J.T. Moore Middle School
