Hello, Hawks:

As we head into the long weekend, I want to take a moment to recognize what Memorial Day is really about. It’s more than the start of summer - it’s a time to remember the men and women who gave everything in service to our country. As a Marine and Iraq War veteran, this day is personal. I think about the friends I served with who didn’t make it home. Their stories, their courage, and their sacrifice stay with me every day.

I hope each of us can find a moment this weekend to pause, reflect, and honor those who gave their lives so we can enjoy the freedoms we have. Thank you for being part of a school community that values service, remembrance, and unity.

Next week is going to be a BUSY one only to be followed up by a Senior Launch Week!
