Principal's Message
May 8, 2020
Dear Tiger families,
I hope you are all safe and healthy.
We are rapidly closing in on the end of the official school year. Some housekeeping business: our plan for collecting textbooks, etc., the distribution of yearbooks, etc., is forthcoming. We will have that plan communicated next week. We will be handling all of these important tasks with a focus first and foremost on student and employee safety. Accordingly, we will be using a "drive-through" style as we design the plan. More to come, of course, and keep a look out for the email!
As I write this, tomorrow I will be giving my commencement speech to the graduating Class of 2020. It is bittersweet, to be frank, to be giving this speech in this manner. I miss all of our students of course, but the seniors especially. They have been faced with a monumental challenge and I am so very impressed by their resilience and grit throughout this process. They are understandably starting to shift their focus to the horizon and to their "next", that is perfectly healthy. I am excited for their future and am anxious too about precisely when and how that will get started for them and will look!
I would like to thank our amazing faculty and staff, for continuing to serve our students and families during this difficult time. They have been doing a fabulous job and I appreciate all they are doing while taking care of their own kids, family members, as well as each other. It's been heartening to watch both as the principal as well as a dad with my own kiddo.
I will be in touch again, soon, as I want to provide an update on how tomorrow goes and what our next steps are with the livestream broadcast of the Commencement ceremony.
Thank you everyone. Take care and be safe,
Mr. Stroud
Principal
