Congratulations to the graduates of SCH Academy as they embark on new journeys, write their own unique stories, and forge a new path in the world of higher education and beyond. As stated by one of the Commencement Class Speakers, Chandler Fattah '22:
Of course, a blank slate is scary. Graduation means leaving behind friends who have become more like family, and teachers who have become more like friends. No one will know us. And, perhaps scariest of all, we are venturing off in different directions, into different unknowns. [...] But a blank slate means a new beginning. We can take what we have learned here, the memories we have made, the successes we have earned, and the failures we have endured, and apply our wisdom to forge new experiences and adventures. These experiences will no doubt include obstacles and roadblocks, but we are well equipped to overcome them. Physically, we are leaving high school. But we will always hold every class, every friend, every teacher, and every day in our hearts and minds.
We are confident that they will go on to lead lives characterized by thoughtfulness, integrity, and quests to affect positive change. As finished by the other Commencement Class Speaker, Kayla Stephan '22, the Class of 2022 is resilient and ready:
I would like for you to remember this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson, 'Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and make a trail.' And with that, I encourage you all to make your own trail. From everything we have been through, use this knowledge to be different and become a leader.
We wish the members of the Class of 2022 all the best, and we salute them for their many contributions to our SCHool community as they begin their next adventure at the colleges and universities listed here:
