New Haven high school diplomas drop phrase ‘in the year of our Lord’
All it took was one complaint for the school district to make a small but significant change to diplomas that will be handed out at graduations this week.
For the first time in as long as anyone can remember, diplomas for New Haven high school students were printed without the phrase “in the year of our Lord.”
It’s a small change that could easily go unnoticed, but Superintendent of Schools Reginald Mayo feels it was a necessary one.
