Our hearts are full! 🥳 On May 7, we celebrated our graduating seniors as well as award and scholarship winners. The hall was full of graduates, faculty and guests. So much joy! We were so excited for everyone who was able to join us, and loved meeting family members of our students. We hope you enjoy looking through a few mementos of the celebration. Happy summer, everybody!
