Message to the senior class: "Dear Fellow Class of 2024: It is important to recognize that graduation marks the end of a chapter, but also the start of our next extraordinary adventure. Many people will say to you that this is just the start of our journey, but I don’t believe that. I believe that we have been on this journey together, as one, since the moment we all met in kindergarten. From this point on, we are given the choice to become whoever we aspire to be whether that be a doctor, teacher, engineer, painter, or whatever your heart desires. Just know that God will be there supporting you in everything you do, and you have a purpose in life. Whatever you choose to do, I hope that your main goal will be to make a difference in someone else’s life. At the end of the day, our success won’t be measured by all of the awards we have received or how much money we made, but instead by all of the lives we have touched and all of the people we have helped along the way. Once again, congratulations Class of 2024 on finally making it to this significant milestone, and good luck in all your future endeavors."
