On Wednesday, June 5, we celebrated our 8th grade class at the Class of 2019 Graduation Ceremony. Andrew Burks, SAA Class of 2009, gave the customary Eagle Address and reminded graduates in the importance in following your passion.
After the presentation of diplomas and tassel ceremony, our 8th graders sang and performed the music for their chosen class song, Lean on Me, reminding them that the #SAACommunity is lifelong.
We congratulate our students on the next step in their journeys as they graduate and move on to high school. Many have chosen to attend their local high schools, reuniting with their communities and taking advantage of strong and diverse programs, while others will attend independent schools offering specialized programs or environments. While we will miss this class, we bid them farewell as they prepare to attend the following great schools:
