Terry Sanford High School
Words of Inspiration from Graduation:
“So as you step into college, into careers, into the unknown — don’t fear the setbacks. Don’t let that or anyone define you. Instead, let it refine you. Let it teach you, shape you, fuel you. The world doesn’t need perfect people…it needs people like you, someone who is resilient, someone who can take a hit and still CHOOSE to rise. So take your next steps boldly and dream big. Fail forward. And when - not IF, but WHEN, life throws a punch ...get back up because we already know you can.
~ Dr. Catherine Abraham-Johnson, TSHS Principal
“In this next chapter, let’s make it a priority to get out and spend time engaged in the world, so that when we look back, we’ll be proud of the things that we accomplished, happy with the relationships that we have formed, and grateful for the things that we have experienced. There is no substitute for real connection.”
~ Andrew Hedgecoe, TSHS Co-Valedictorian
“Throughout the rest of our lives as we face adversity, no matter how many times we get knocked down, we need to keep getting back up, even if it's just to fall back down again. The only way to respond to that adversity is to be determined. We have to continue to try, to care, and to stay true to those values our supporters have instilled in us. That's how we make change, through acts that put others first, allowing us to come together as a community. That’s how we beat adversity.”
~ Flora McRae, TSHS Co-Valedictorian
“You have proven today that you are not limited by your background, your environment, or what others may have expected of you. Your starting point does not have to determine where your destination will be. You are not a product of circumstance- being here today is proof that limits can be broken and expectations can be set by you and you only. Only you get to decide who you are and who you will become- that is your power, precious to you. “
~ Emily Cline, TSHS Salutatorian
