Principal's reflections on the Class of 2022:

Addison Trail High School Class of 2022 Seniors may be one of the most resilient and passionate graduating classes of all time. Having gone through the challenges of our world these past few years and still coming out on top shows just how incredibly unbreakable they are. The Class of 2022 was tasked with leading our school back to it's pre-pandemic excellence and they surpassed all expectations.

Our school motto this year was "ALL TOGETHER" to signify us being back in the physical school building, to signify that ALL students/staff belong in our school, and that the only way to rise up out of this pandemic was to do so TOGETHER. Congratulations to the Class of 2022!
