The students, then
in kindergarten,
were introduced
and walked on
stage in Grade 12-
sized jerseys.
"So they're
dragging on the
ground and they're
as proud as ever
walking along,"

really cute little
kids that piqued
our interest."

The Class of 2030 has been and will continue to have an inspiring, positive, and influential impact on our students. It focuses on the importance of attendance and graduation. It has given the opportunity for our business community to have a substantial impact on our youth who will be our future leaders in our community. The class of 2030 will receive the benefits of our adage “it takes a community to educate a child”.
