April 2025 Edition
Dear Seniors and Families,
Spring is in full swing, and we are now in one of the most exciting months of the school year!
April is not just another page on the calendar—it’s a milestone as we move closer to graduation. This is a time to celebrate achievements, cherish friendships, and ensure that we finish strong.
On April 18, 2025, we will reach the 4.5 grade mark, an important checkpoint in your academic journey. Seniors, I encourage you to stay focused and committed during these final weeks. Attendance in classes is essential, not just for grades, but for the rich discussions, collaborations, and last moments of learning together as a class. Every day you show up, you invest in your future.
If you're facing challenges, please reach out for help sooner rather than later. Whether it's a teacher, a counselor, or a trusted mentor, know that you have a support system ready to guide you toward success. No one achieves greatness alone!
As we move toward the end of the month, anticipation builds for our Prom and Senior Week celebrations! These events are more than just traditions; they are moments to create lasting memories with your peers, reflect on your growth, and celebrate your journey. This is your time, your story, your victory. Lets lift each other up, push through to the finish line, and embrace the incredible opportunities ahead. Stay engaged, be present, and make every moment count.
Your senior year is not just about reaching the end, it’s about making the journey unforgettable.
With pride and excitement,
Dr. J. Antoine Shade, 12th Grade Assistant Principal
Peachtree Ridge High School
