CONGRATULATIONS,CLASS OF 2015

High school graduations set for May 29-30

in Charles County

On behalf of the entire Charles County Public Schools community, congratulations.

As a high school graduate you have met rigorous academic challenges and have demonstrated

success in the three focus areas for Charles County Public Schools: academic achievement, per-

sonal responsibility and career readiness. Teaching and learning are our highest priority, and our

goal has been to provide you with the skills you need to accomplish whatever goals you set for

yourself. To succeed in life you need to continue to learn. Whether you enter college, a career or

the military, lifelong learning will be a key factor in your success.

Many of the relationships that you have created during your school years will remain with you for

a lifetime.We hope that you will look back upon the time that youve spent in school with a smile,

and that you will take away memories, experiences and skills that will help you face the chal-

lenges that you will face in the future.

Remember the significance of the people who have supported you throughout the past 13 years;

your family, your teachers, your counselors and your friends. They have guided you to a place

where you are ready to step off into your future. You each have a future of endless possibilities, a

future with all of the doors open, an opportunity to make your mark on the world. Focus on the

good things that you have to offer, and use all that you have learned to make a difference in the

lives of others.

I know that I speak for the entire Board of Education when I say congratulations for a job well

done.We look forward to hearing about your achievements as you begin the next part of your life.

Thank you for all that you contributed to our school community. Im very proud of you.

Best wishes,
