Words of Inspiration from Graduation:
“Thank you, students, for your smiles. Your smiles have been a beacon of hope and a reminder that even small gestures can make a big difference. As you step into the next chapter of your lives, let your smile be the beginning of every success, the source of every joy, and the symbol of the love you carry within you.”
- Dr. Juelle McDonald, Principal

“As we embark on this next chapter of our lives we are all called on different paths. Let us be reminded that our identities are not solely defined by our careers or accomplishments, but by the values we uphold and the relationships we create.”
- Jordan Blanton, Valedictorian

“The people who are here tonight to support us have been with us since day one of our journey, which is why it is important to be very appreciative of them. As time goes by, and we look back on our youth and this moment, let us never forget that we did not get here alone; we made it here together!”
- Langdon Paquin, Salutatorian
