As the shadow of the moon passed across the football field, students stared up at a once of a lifetime opportunity. On Aug. 21, 2017 beginning at 1:17 p.m. the first total eclipse since 1991 crossed the country.
“It was breathtaking to see something as cool as [the solar eclipse],” Junior Malvika Pandya said. “It’s so crazy to think it won’t happen again in my lifetime and I’m so glad I got the opportunity to view it.”
