It's THAT Time of Year - Graduation is Coming!

I graduated from Ocala Forest High School in Florida on June 8, 1990. It seems like yesterday in many ways. I remember the full range of emotions from excitement to sadness to worry to disbelief that high school was over. It can be a confusing time for our soon-to-be graduates.

As York High School graduation creeps up on us, I want to thank the Class of 2014 for all they've done in their time as York Dukes. This class has been wonderful representatives of our school system, our community, their families, and our state in all they've done. In the classroom, on the stage, in labs and greenhouses, on the fields/courts/courses of competition, and in all they've done, they've been a great source of pride for us.

The challenge for the Class of 2014 is now to make sure that "high school" isn't the high point of their lives. Their best is yet to come. The same tenacity, poise, and strength that made them successful throughout their time at YPS will also serve them well in the "real world." Keep working Class of 2014. Keep reaching for the stars. Don't be satisfied yet. Go do amazing things and remember that you're forever a Duke! We are proud of you and wish you nothing but the best in your journeys. We are always here for you!
