Message from the Principal

Message to the class of 2009

First let me say, congratulations to the Class of 2009!  With your parents and family as exceptions, I do not believe anyone can be more proud of each of you and all you have accomplished.

We started this journey together four years ago, and I remember our first days together as if they were yesterday.  I knew your potential from those first days in August 2005, and  as I promised, your four years did slip by quickly, and here you are in your senior year of high school, ready to show the world all of your talent!

My message to you remains the same now as you voyage out to experience adult life and experiences: It is difficult to do the right thing and generally easier to do the “wrong” things in life. And as our name sake, Martin Luther King Jr said, “The time is always right to do what is right.”Always be strong, and always be prepared to do the difficult things, because the pay off is worth the effort. When you face challenges, face them head-on. Do not let the challenges sway you from your course, no matter how difficult. You are prepared to deal with anything, and have the potential to accomplish everything!

Remember the road ahead of you is full of twists and turns, and if you should take a wrong turn, correct it.  The truth will always be the truth.  Don’t get mad, stay smart! Halfway is nowhere! Always see everything through to the end. The more you know, the more there is to discover. The more you put in, the more you can get back. Your journey is just beginning, not ending, and you have miles to go before you sleep and miles to go before you sleep!

Finally I would like to say thank you to each of you. Thank you for all you have shared with me, taught me, and the experience you lent me. I am a better person and educator because of each of you, and I hope I have influenced you in a positive way as well. As you set out to follow all of your dreams, know I am still here for you, still praying for you, and still on your side. Congratulations to the class of ’09. You have made us proud!

 

Sincerely,

Mrs. Diviny
