Knightly Update May 22, 2022
ACP High School - Final Edition - Vol 1 Issue 40
________________________________________
What a year! It is hard to believe it is coming to an end. It seems that we were just opening our doors to welcome everyone to our new home and now we are closing the chapter on our first year on this campus. Thank you to my administrative team, our teachers, staff, and students for an amazing year; and thank you for supporting your child and our school.
Sincerest congratulations to the members of the Class of 2022 on a very successful high school career. I am excited to celebrate with you at your Commencement Ceremony on Thursday. On a personal note, I want to thank each of you for being a part of our school. Thank you for all you did to make our first year in our new school extraordinary! Not everyone within our school community knows just what you did to help us to open this school, but I do, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are a special group of individuals, and I will miss you all so much next year, but the impact you made will be a part of our school's legacy forever. Thank you. May your "start of something new" be extraordinary! Congratulations!
As this is the final Knightly Update of the year, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation to the entire Knight community for helping to make this year one that I will never forget. It was an amazing year with many wonderful memories (and a ton of moving boxes!). The future of ACP is bright, and I am excited for the new school year to begin. Congrats once again, and best wishes to the Class of 2022. Remember, while you might be graduating and leaving our school, "the sun never sets on a Knight!" You will always be a part of our family.
Have an amazing and safe summer everyone. I look forward to seeing our underclassmen back on campus in July and wish you the best of luck on your final exams. Thank you all for joining me on this adventure and for being a part of our school. Go, KNIGHTS!!!
