From initial lockdown to the first vaccines, Class of COVID-19 unveils untold and thought-provoking stories of courage and hope during a global pandemic. The stories move far beyond school buildings to show the fears, challenges, and triumphs of exemplary teachers and students. Faced with struggles around mental health, inequities in school resources, and racial injustice, the characters evolve to become true leaders in their communities and prove that sometimes the most important lessons are learned outside the classroom.
