Congratulations Class of 2024! ❤️🤎

The Class of 2024’s Commencement was an extra special occasion—for many, it was their first “real” graduation after their high school ceremony was cancelled due to the global pandemic.

You've built a community of scholars, athletes, artists, and activists that will continue to support and inspire you for the rest of your life. It's been an honor to watch you grow and it’s an honor to celebrate your commencement.

Thank you for sharing this adventure with us... now on to your next one!

Congratulations!
