Class of  2021

"Thank you for supporting me, the community, students who didn't think they deserved more education, students who couldn't afford more education, and all of the future students who you'll help. You all work incredibly hard, giving everything you can back into our community and the only thing you ask in return is the try. Try our hardest to be better, kinder, smarter people than we were yesterday.  I'm so grateful to come from such a giving and hard-working community and I'm grateful for your continuous support to make me a better me."
