The School Year is Almost Over...

Dear Falcon Families,


Happy Finals Week! We’re in the final stretch of an incredible year. Good luck to all of our students on their exams—let’s finish strong!


To our Seniors:
Congratulations on completing your senior year! Graduation on Tuesday marks the culmination of your hard work, resilience, and growth. We are so proud of the leaders, scholars, and kind-hearted individuals you’ve become. Wherever life takes you next, you’ll always have a home here at Andrew Hill.


To our Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors:
Thank you for your commitment, energy, and spirit this year. We hope you enjoy a restful and joyful summer—take time to recharge, reflect, and return ready to continue this journey with us in the fall.


As we wrap up the year, we want to take a moment to thank our families, teachers, staff, and community members for your unwavering support. This year has brought challenges and triumphs, and your partnership has made all the difference.


May your summer be filled with laughter, learning, and meaningful moments. We can’t wait to welcome you back with open arms next school year.


With gratitude,
Miss Hoang
