SENIOR HONOR GRADUATES: I wanted to sincerely apologize for missing four senior graduates that should have been recognized as Honor Graduates (students having an average of 3.7 or better) The following students should have been included: - Andre Brown - Ryan Redding - Olivia Warner - Lillian Wickenheiser Congratulations to these four additional students for an amazing academic career!

We are so proud of the 96 graduates that have walked the stage and received their diploma last week. A 100% turn out rate, we are truly overjoyed with their accomplishments. We have taken pictures, and videos of each graduate and are looking forward to June 12th at 6pm when the compilation video airs. We will have more information available closer to the time.
