News About Town: Mayor John Higdon has a message for Matthews graduates:
On behalf of the Matthews Board of Commissioners, I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to the graduating classes of Butler High School and Providence High School!
The class of 2020 has endured a senior year like no other. A drive-through ceremony may not be what you have envisioned for this very special occasion - but do not let that take away from what you have achieved. Take time to reflect on your accomplishments and be proud of yourself. Your family, friends, and the entire community are proud of you.
As you move on towards your bright future, please remember that the Matthews community is behind you. We wish you all the best.
Congratulations Class of 2020!
