Ray-Pec Community,


Tonight, we will gather to celebrate nearly 500 seniors during graduation ceremonies at Panther Stadium. This momentous occasion marks a significant milestone in their academic journey and is a testament to their hard work, perseverance, and dedication.


We extend our congratulations not only to the students but also to the parents, guardians, friends, and family members who have been their pillars of support throughout this journey. Your unwavering encouragement has played a crucial role in the achievements of our graduates.


Many in the class of 2023 will embark on their next chapter in life at a two-year or four-year college or university. Others will enter trade schools. Some will also serve in the military or immediately join the workforce. All will demonstrate their diverse talents, goals, and aspirations. We take immense pride in each and every graduate's achievements.


Reflecting upon our graduating classes, it is clear that high school graduation represents more than just the culmination of four years. Rather, it is the conclusion of a journey that spans from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. This journey involves countless numbers of teachers, principals, coaches, sponsors, support team members, and others who have played a crucial role in shaping the young people we celebrate tonight. 


Congratulations to the Class of 2023! This is a time to celebrate their accomplishments and look forward to their bright futures. We are proud of our Panthers and excited to see what they will accomplish next.


Thank you for entrusting your children to the Ray-Pec School District,


Mike
