Volume 7| June 2017

May and June highlight the high school graduation season as families across the nation celebrate one of life's defining achievements for our young adults.   

This year, close to ­­­­1,400 high school seniors will be handed diplomas and take their walks across stages with their classmates at traditional high schools, as well as continuation schools and charter schools.  Additionally, 91 adults obtained their high school diplomas by completing an adult education program. 

Congratulations to the entire Class of 2017 as well as to all their supporters, including families and friends. It is also worth noting the great dedication of public school teachers and school support staff committed to students throughout their educational experience to get our seniors to this point. 

This year, I had the opportunity to attend several graduation ceremonies and senior recognition events. It is inspiring to see the genuine joy and optimistic outlooks on the faces of our senior graduates. 

Our communities should take great pride in the accomplishments of this year's graduates who are making the transition into adulthood.  Our hope is that the graduating seniors' educations have prepared them to be college and career ready as they take the next steps into their futures. 

We applaud this year's graduates!
