SENIOR TEACHERS

CLASS OF 2026

Ms. Maria Delgado Math teacher

Seniors — this is the beginning of the rest of your life. Your hard work and dedication have led you to this moment. Embrace every opportunity that comes your way, even the ones that challenge you. Remember that in the end, we only regret chances we didn’t take. Trust in the strength and resilience you’ve built along the journey. You are more ready for the world than you think.

Ms. Brittany Austin ESS teacher

As you step into the next chapter, remember that your thoughts shape your reality. Define clearly what you want, believe in it deeply, and pursue it with persistence. Success isn’t accidental; it’s the result of purpose, discipline, and unwavering faith in yourself. The limits you face will often be the ones you accept, so choose boldly and think beyond them. “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” - NAPOLEON HILL

Mrs. Shalini Sharma Science teacher

Today marks the end of one journey and the beginning of another. Watching you grow, learn, and achieve over the years has been truly inspiring. This moment marks not just the end of your hard work but a chance for new possibilities. You have gained knowledge, developed skills, and had important experiences that will guide you in the future. As you move on, take with you the values, knowledge, and memories you created here. Believe in yourself and have the courage to chase your dreams. You will always be remembered with pride. Congratulations on your achievements, and I wish you a future full of success and happiness!

Dr. Jenifer L. Duffin English teacher

This is it, you have completed one of the most important events in your life, graduating from high school. Thinking about the last thirteen years and where it has taken you is only the beginning of the next several decades of where you will go. Some of my favorite quotes come from J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. Gandalf states, “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” So make your decisions wisely. Samwise Gamgee says, “It’s the job that’s never started that takes longest to finish.” So go for it, you never know where it will take you. And lastly, Gildor Inglorion says, “The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot forever fence it out.” Enjoy your world; this is your time to shine and see what is out there.

Your Journey Starts NOW!

Mrs. Lisha Vila Social Studies teacher

Congratulations, seniors, on your monumental accomplishment. As you begin your new journey into adulthood, remember the words of Theodore Roosevelt: “Believe you can and you’re halfway there.” You are your biggest champion, so always bet on yourself. Even when life gets tough, continue striving toward your goals, create the future you want for yourself, and always keep dreaming big. Congratulations again, and best wishes on this exciting new journey ahead!
