Principal's reflections on the Class of 2021:
These Grenadiers have endured more challenges than any graduating class in my career, and they have done so with resiliency and class. They are artists, teachers, manufacturers, entrepreneurs, engineers, and most importantly, good people. The leaders who rise out of this group will challenge every one of us to make this world better. #WeAreEG
