Principal's reflections on the Class of 2022: I have been most blessed to see this class grow over the past four years. They have grown as individuals; developing spiritually and academically. But, what has been most remarkable is the way they have grown together as a class. They have overcome much adversity together through the power of the Gospel and I trust that this will serve them as they launch into the world for Christ.
-- Principal Erik Schwartz
