2023 Senior Walk

On Tuesday, May 23, the Class of 2023 wore their caps and gowns for the annual Senior Walk. It was an opportunity for the seniors to walk down memory lane at the Elementary, Intermediate, and Junior High campuses. The event was filled with happiness, laughter, cheers, hugs, and of course tears.

While this is a senior event, the walk also provides inspiration to all of our young Eagles. They get to see what years of hard work and dedication can amount to.
