Eddie Sein said the diploma was in unusually good condition and spent more than a year trying to return it before mailing it back.
- Oklahoma TikToker Eddie Sein mailed a 1954 Grants High School diploma back to the institution after discovering the document in pristine condition at an Oklahoma City Goodwill bin.
- After finding the diploma belonging to Ted Arvizo, Sein kept the item for over a year, unable to discard what he suspected was accidentally donated by mistake.
- A TikTok video eventually drew comments from New Mexico users connected to Grants High School, who helped link Sein with Assistant Principal Miranda Barajas, confirming the school would receive the diploma.
- Sein stated, "Now, the students of today at Grants, they can go back and see some of the students that came before them," envisioning the diploma as a historical artifact.
- The diploma has arrived back in New Mexico, where Grants High School officials plan to preserve it as part of the institution's history, securing the legacy of alumni like Arvizo.
