Messages to the graduates
Allen Academy
Brazos Christian School
On behalf of the faculty, staff and members of the Allen Academy community, congratulations to the class of 2016! You join 130 years of alumni from our school’s incredible past. Like them, we expect great things from you. We wish you continued success in the next phase of your life, but also encourage you to be appreciative of the opportunities that have been afforded to you and to the numerous people who helped make that happen. We anticipate seeing you on campus often as you return to the area, and are excited to continue to watch you grow and make a difference in the lives of others.
Dear Class of 2016, Thank you for being authentic and real. Thank you for the ways that many of you have led and poured into the underclassmen. I am eager to see the ways that you go and change the world with the talents and gifts with which the Lord has blessed you all! My hope and prayer is that you would never quit challenging the status quo, both in the world and with your relationship with Christ. We love you, and we wish you God’s best!

Collegiate High School To the BCHS graduates of 2016,
Dear Class of 2016, It is pleasing to write a letter of farewell to our graduating senior from Saint Michael’s as he takes this important step in his life at the end of the 20152016 academic year. He is bright, young, hard-working, full of energy and committed to success. Graduation marks the culmination of purposeful study for Mengtian Ke. He has competed in Robotics, art competitions, AP exams, performed in operettas, been a valuable member of the Student Council and served as a positive role model as a Big Buddy to our younger students. In this way, he has already made a difference to the lives of others. It is time for him to continue his journey with a strong work ethic as a student at the university of his choice. Mengtian plans to take a course in engineering at Texas A&M University (Texarkana). Sincerely, Jenny Morris
Congratulations to all of you! I am so proud of each of you and all that you have accomplished over the last four years. Each of you accepted the challenge to go beyond a typical high school experience, and you conquered every obstacle in your path. Just to give you some perspective on what you have accomplished, I have included a few details. The 51 students in the Class of 2016 completed over 12,000 community service hours; you earned over 2,000 college credits; 21 students earned scholarships, and collectively you have earned in excess of $3,000,000 in grants and scholarships to be used over the next four years. In addition to these collective achievements, many of you have won individual awards and received personal recognitions. I hope each graduate will revel in their well-deserved sense of accomplishment. On behalf of the staff at Bryan Collegiate High School, we wish you all the best in your very bright futures. We ask only that you keep in touch with us, so we may continue to rejoice in your future successes. Sincerely, Mrs. Christina Richardson Principal Bryan Collegiate High School

Dear Class of 2016, I want you each to know how proud I am of you; and more importantly, I hope you are proud of yourself. The determination and willpower it takes to accomplish milestones in life are important to recognize. Achieving a high school diploma from College Station ISD is not a feat to take lightly, yet you are shining with success. Each of you exhibited the needed skills to maneuver your way to achieving high school graduation. I encourage you to take those skills with you as you open new chapters in your individual books of life. Your principal, Dr. Margie Martinez
