A Message From Our Superintendent

June 2025

Dear Bears,

Congratulations to the Class of 2025! I am proud of each of you and look forward to seeing what you accomplish next. You’ve built a strong foundation—now it’s time to apply what you’ve learned and shape the future ahead of you.

Our Valedictorian, Sophia Newton, and Salutatorian, Bodhi West, represented their class on May 17 with personal remarks that reflected both the challenges and successes of the past four years. Their messages reflected the spirit and character of each speaker, offering a fitting close to a significant chapter and a clear step into what comes next.

I would like to wish everyone a very relaxing summer, and I look forward to seeing our students and staff in August. This well-earned break is a time to recharge, reflect, and return refreshed for another year of growth, learning, and success. Take time to enjoy your families, explore new interests, and come back ready to make the 2025–2026 school year our best yet!
