Senior Walk 2026

One of our staff’s favorite traditions each year is welcoming back our former students for Senior Walk. While they may be graduating high school now, they will always be “our kids” to us. Seeing them walk our halls again — grown up, accomplished, and ready to take on the world — brought so many smiles, happy tears, and proud hearts yesterday.

To our Seniors: go be amazing. Work hard, lead others in the right direction, believe in yourself, and continue making your families and community proud. The future is bright because of students like you.
Thank you for taking the time to come back and share this special moment with us. Watching you grow into the amazing young adults you are today is truly one of the greatest joys of being part of your journey.

And to the families — we know your hearts are overflowing with pride. Give those graduates a few extra hugs and celebrate all they have accomplished. What a beautiful milestone this is for all of you! Thanks, again, for trusting us with your students years ago and we cannot wait to continue to see them grow.
