As we come to the end of another school year, I want to take a moment to say congratulations — to every high school and college graduate, and to everyone else who has made it through another year of learning, growing, and pushing forward.

To the graduates: Your hard work, dedication, and perseverance have brought you to this incredible milestone. Whether you’re heading off to college, into the workforce, or on to new adventures, know that you’ve achieved something truly special.

To all students, teachers, and families who’ve supported one another through the ups and downs of the academic year — this is your moment, too. Every test passed, every challenge overcome, and every goal reached is worth celebrating.

No matter what your next step looks like, be proud of how far you’ve come. The journey isn’t always easy, but each year is a building block for something greater.

So here’s to you — the graduates, the students, the survivors of another school year. You did it. Congratulations!
