High School Graduation (not yet formatted) photos, quotes, ceremony notes from graduation

This being my 6th year at Pinewood, the graduating class of 2023 is the first group that I have had the privilege to know from as far back as 7th grade, the first year of Upper Campus. To be a witness to this journey of growth is an experience that I will never forget. And the theme for this year at Upper Campus has been Kindness, Joy, and Abundant Growth. There could not have been a better description of the way these students approached their time at our school. This group came of age together, faced the worst of the pandemic together, and has come out the other side with smiles on their faces. This group is diverse, with a splendid array of interests, gifts, and personalities. From the sciences to the performing arts (and everything in between), these graduates will not be known for a single unifying trend but for the variety of their ideas and pursuits. We are so grateful for the mark that you will leave at our little school and look forward to seeing the mark that you will make on the big world out there beyond us. Good luck in that big world! You are ready!
