Dear Woolie Families,

As we enter June, the final stretch of the 2024–2025 school year is upon us! With just a few weeks remaining, we’re excited to share all of the amazing events and activities happening throughout the month.

Our last month is packed with significant moments—from student performances, playoff sports, award ceremonies, and the highly anticipated lead-up to Graduation. There’s a lot going on, and we hope you'll be able to join us in celebrating these special occasions.

Our students and staff continue to put in tremendous effort to maintain a strong focus on learning as we wrap up the school year. We're proud of all the hard work taking place and look forward to sharing it with you.

As always, thank you for your ongoing support. It means so much to our entire school community.

Warm regards,
Chris Lowe

It’s surreal to think that we are just days away from the Commencement Ceremony for the Class of 2025. This time of year always brings mixed emotions. On one hand, we are filled with excitement for what lies ahead for our graduates—a true coming of age, a meaningful rite of passage into adulthood. Yet, it’s also difficult to imagine our halls and classrooms without their presence. The daily conversations, the laughs, the smiles, and the remarkable ways we’ve witnessed them grow over the past six years are memories we will carry with us for a lifetime.

As we move toward this milestone moment, I’ve encouraged our staff to fully embrace the celebration of our students’ journey. These final days are rich with meaning, and it’s important for both students and staff to take in every moment—whether it’s a simple goodbye or a proud walk across the stage. We honor not just their achievements, but who they’ve become along the way.

To the Class of 2025, thank you for the joy and inspiration you’ve brought to our community.
