Baccalaureate and Commencement ceremonies for the Class of 2013 are less than a month away. As these milestones approach, I am impacted by the depth and breadth of accomplishments and potential in our Senior Class. Having come to know many of these fine young men and women, I truly appreciate their tremendous God-given gifts, their keen intellects and insights, and the camaraderie that they enjoy.

Earlier this month, we held an exciting Strategic Planning Convocation on campus. More than 160 people attended to share their thoughts and dreams about the future of our school. The event was a great testimony to the loyalty of many alumni and friends, and to the importance of SMHS as an Eastside anchor.
