Hopkinton High School senior Liam Finnegan celebrated his 19th birthday on Friday with a parade of cars carrying well-wishers through his Rocky Woods Road neighborhood.

The Class of 2020 recently dedicated its yearbook to Finnegan, a member of the unified basketball and track teams at the school.

“Liam teaches us every day, in his many acts of kindness, what it means to be a friend,” class secretary Bobby McGuire said in announcing the honor on Senior Recognition Night. McGuire lauded Finnegan, who has autism, as “our role model for tolerance, acceptance and kindness.”
