FAYETTE COUNTY, Ga. — “Stranger Things” star Priah Ferguson recently graduated from high school in Fayette, Georgia.
Ferguson, known for her role as Erica Sinclair — the little sister of Lucas Sinclair — on Netflix’s hit show “Stranger Things,” posted a video on Instagram in her cap and gown.
“Most people are always surprised when they find out I’ve been in public school my whole life. The role that introduced me to the world was filmed right in my hometown — and I made a choice early on not to miss out on real world experiences just because of my career,” Ferguson wrote.

Class of 2025 — no matter your story, you made it!”
