Graduation: A Mixed Bag
From the desk of Rod Fletcher, Headmaster:
One of the hardest things for me as Headmaster is that I must experience graduation each year.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I love the ceremony and the celebration. And I love seeing students ready and excited for the next step in the journey. But I get sad each year because I feel like I am losing part of my family – I don’t want to see them leave.
I love our students, and I love interacting with them and enjoying their company on a regular basis. They make a tremendous impact on me and it is hard at this time of the year to imagine the school without them. The only thing that makes it bearable is that I am so proud of them and I always have a sense that they are going to thrive at the next level – that we are sending them off prepared academically, socially, and spiritually. Without that sense, graduation would be intolerable.
I LOVE THESE STUDENTS!!
