Principal's reflection on the Class of 2021:
The Graduating Class of 2021 has learned how to not just survive, but thrive. They have learned to thrive in the most important ways, ways that are more important than any skill or standard.
The Class of 2021 has learned how to adapt, overcome, be resilient, and remain positive. In short, they have learned how to respond to adversity, and this will set them apart and serve them well in all of their future endeavors.
- Principal Jeremy Schmidt
