Congratulations, class of 2022!

Your journey to graduation has been unique, to say the least; most of your senior high experience has included navigating the global pandemic.

You have come a long way from your first day in kindergarten, where you were assigned a cubby with your name on it and began your education in one of the best public school systems in North America.

Although the vision for your journey to graduation probably didn’t include masks, social distancing and hand sanitizing, you have risen to the challenge. You have demonstrated strength and courage as you adapted and forged your new path forward.

Your willingness to find new ways to learn, connect, progress and make your way to graduation has demonstrated agility. You have learned how to be resilient and you are ready for your next chapter.

Whether you start the next chapter of your journey by entering the workforce, continuing education or taking a gap year, do whatever you are going to do with an awareness of all that surrounds you. Continue to observe, learn, grow, be courageous, reflect, show gratitude and enjoy the journey.

Congratulations, class of 2022, we are so incredibly proud of you!
