What a way to close out the school year!
We wrapped up the year by recognizing excellence across our schools.
From academic honors to athletic achievements and outstanding club contributions, we couldn’t be prouder of our students who lead by example. Keep up the great work!
From Pre-K to Kindergarten, 6th grade to Middle School, 8th grade to High School, our students are on the rise! Alongside our Class of 2025 seniors, we celebrated lots of big transitions across every grade level. Congratulations to all our growing students!
Your next chapter begins!
