‘Live life to the fullest’

You have all proven your resiliency and ability to overcome great challenges during your high school careers. You should be very proud.

You each have the potential to do great things, and your futures are very bright. I wish each of you the best as you go forward to define what success means for you. Enjoy the work of striving to attain it, and then experience the deep satisfaction of achieving it.

I’ve found that the good memories you will hold throughout your life are of the things that you did and the chances you took, not of the risks averted or the times you played it safe. So, I encourage you to get outside your comfort zones. Push yourselves to learn and experience new things so that you can discover new interests and passions and live life to the fullest.

Congratulations to the 2023 scholars for their accomplishments, to all parents for the support they provided that has helped make their success possible, and to all educators and community leaders who invested in nurturing this future generation of leaders.
