On Thursday, May 20, 2021, Cathedral City High School held its annual Golden Lion Awards Night that recognizes more than 200 graduating students for their outstanding academic achievement. This was the first large event with nearly 500 people in attendance at the new Cathedral City Community Amphitheater.
Councilmember Rita Lamb opened the evening’s event with an official city welcome to the attendees. The crowd cheered when she asked, “Is this a beautiful venue or what?” With chairs grouped in pairs and six feet of distance in between, the amphitheater space with a capacity over 2,900 provided ample room for the awards night in a safe setting.
