I am so proud of all of you! I can't believe the tiny 9th graders I met 4 years ago are now all grown up and ready to head out into the wide world! You are amazing human beings with big hearts and are ready to take on the challenges that await. Know that I always have your back and will be cheering you on, whatever path you take. Remember to have kindness in your thoughts and words, and don't let your analysis cause you paralysis! Make sure to keep in touch and reach out if you need anything - a mint, a corny joke, a pickle, a laugh!

Love, Coursey

IMARI SCOTT

2021-04-27 12:56:24 UTC

You made it my child!!!! I still remember when I first met you in 9th grade. I know you secretly couldn't stand me because I was always on your case about something. Don't know if you realized this but the reason I was so tough on you was because I saw greatness in you! You are an amazing, caring, kind, funny, compassionate, and respectful young man. You have so much to offer the world and I am sooo proud of all the hard work you have put in over the past four years. I have no doubt in my mind that you are going to do amazing things out there and I will be able to tell everyone "I knew him when...." Keep pushing, never give up, and follow your dreams. You can do anything you put your mind to. I'm sad we missed your senior year together but pls. know I am always here!!! Don't forget us - keep in touch!

ALTON KING

2021-04-27 13:02:17 UTC

Mr. King!!! Look we made it!! It's senior year already. Feels like we were just in Mrs. Taylor's lit class yesterday, you causing trouble, me keeping you in line. Man time went wayyyy too fast. I am proud of you my son! I wish I could have seen you in your final year, in person, but regardless of us being apart I know, without a doubt, that you are still killin' it out there. I expect you to do great things, and nothing less. No matter what, hold on to your integrity! Don't let anyone pressure you into being something you are not. You have a kind soul and I am excited that the world will get to see just how much you have to offer. Push until you get what you want! Never settle for less! Always hold your head up and make decision you can be proud of. Don't let anyone or anything change who you are! I will miss seeing you (even if it is interrupting a class I'm teaching with Hamilton and Scott trailing behind you.) Keep in touch!!!

Mrs. Martin

BRAINSLEY BECKFORD

2021-04-27 13:10:44 UTC

Mr. Beckford!!!! It's me your fav. teacher (well not always but now we are besties.) Remember how you couldn't stand me and told me so every day - LOL! Our start may have been rocky (really rocky), but look where we are now! Without a doubt you are the one student who has challenged my patiences the most, but I am a better person for having had the privilege of teaching you. As a parent/teacher, I am hardest on those who I see need the hardest push to reach their best self. From day one, I never doubt that you could do whatever you put your mind too. You are the one one who can stop you. I push as a way of showing love! I know it didn't feel like it but everything I did was out of love. You have grown so much and should be proud of yourself. Be great!!! Show the world what you have to offer! We will miss you, make sure you come back and visit!
