The Class of COVID-19: Insights from the Inside is a collection of writing about the COVID-19 pandemic by students from Cliffside Park High School, in Cliffside Park, New Jersey, published on 2 June 2020. It contains pieces by forty-six students and was edited by Cliffside Park High School English teacher Shawn Adler. The collection was brought together, according to Adler, so that "people have this as a primary document for as long as they are learning about what we're going through in history."[1]
The book has attracted national press coverage in the United States from CNN,[2] the Wall Street Journal,[3] NBC Nightly News,[4] People,[1] Yahoo,[5] Al Día,[6] and other outlets. It has also garnered praise from a range of New Jersey politicians, including Governor Phil Murphy,[7] U.S. Senator Cory Booker,[8] and Representative Bill Pascrell.[9] A second volume, with twenty-four new pieces of writing by different student authors, appeared in January 2021.[2]
