Mayor
Dear Graduates, You have successfully reached a major milestone in your life: high school graduation. I'm sure it is something you have eagerly anticipated for quite a while. It is a significant occasion, after all, and you have put in the hard work required to get to this point. For this, you are to be highly commended. As you look to your future, I encourage you to never forget where you came from. Your community has cheered you on and walked alongside you every step of the way. Take a moment and thank the ones who helped you on your journey to graduation day; your family, teachers, and friends. Because of them, you are better prepared to face what life has in store for you.
"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And you are the one who'll decide where to go." -Dr. Seuss
Will you face challenges? Of course. Life can be overwhelming at times, a great balancing act, as Dr. Seuss would say. Follow his advice and step with care and great tact as you navigate these new waters. Congratulations on all you have accomplished. Never stop growing, exploring, learning, and challenging yourself. Set yourself apart. You have made us proud. Congratulations, graduates. It’s a great day to be a Panther!

For me, personally, this magazine is special. After nine months working closely with local schools, along with the rest of our staff, we get an inside look at how many of our local schools function and how hard the students throughout Shelby County work. Whether it be through feature stories on individual students, walking the sidelines at sporting events and interviewing players, covering pageants, special demonstrations, art shows, plays, band events and much more, we get to see the passion from many students throughout the school year—many of whom we’ve seen on multiple occasions since their early days in the school. That makes it special when we get to witness the accomplishment each year of seniors walking across the stage for graduation. That will be no different this May when graduates from the class of 2022 walk across the stage, flips their tassels and toss their caps in the air in celebration of a major milestone in life. It is not to be understated what it takes for each person to reach this point in their life, from hard work and dedication to balancing the rest of their life as a teen preparing to go off to college or into the real world. That seems to have been magnified since COVID-19 ended the 2020 school year early, and many didn’t get to celebrate these special moments. Each year, however, we put together our graduation magazine to honor each graduate in Shelby County for all they have accomplished. Inside this year’s magazine, we highlight all graduates from each school in Shelby County, including each valedictorian, while we also highlight several individual seniors for their work in the classroom and beyond as leaders in their community. Don’t take this moment for granted. It is a special time that each graduate has worked for since they set foot in the halls of their high school four years ago. Congratulations class of 2022! We can’t wait to see what you do to change the world.

good deposit (God’s word - to salvation) into your life. Great defense is required do not surrender what the Lord, your family, youth pastors and teachers have poured into you for the past 18-plus years. Guard it with your life! “Fight, and after you have done everything - STAND!” Eph. 6:13 2. “Fan the flame that is in you” - This is simple in concept but takes discipline in college. GROW in your walk with the Lord. Burn brightly for all to see! 3. “You have not been given a spirit of fear but power, love and self-control.” - If you are going to do #2, you will need to do it in the power and strength of the Lord! God’s power, Jesus’ love, and self-con-
trol from the Holy Spirit will cause you to thrive! 4. “Do not be ashamed but share in the suffering for the gospel.” If your fire burns brightly, people WILL notice and you WILL be challenged. You should expect some type of push back. Don’t be surprised consider it an honor to share in this...don’t give in but lean into the difficult! 5. “He is able to guard...this good deposit.” Best news yet: you are not on your own. HE (God) is where you are and will be. HE will guard what HE has entrusted or given to you! HE goes with you wherever you go and HE will fight for you! You do NOT go to college alone!
I look forward to addressing your senior class in our last chapel, to honor you at Honor’s Day and to celebrate your milestone in being a Briarwood Graduate! Know we are excited for you and regularly will be praying for you! Also, know you are loved, will be missed, that you will always be a Briarwood Lion and don’t ever forget the way back to your Briarwood family! I hope you return for Homecoming 2022! In the love of Christ,
Dr. Shawn Brower Head of Upper School, Briarwood Christian School

GRADUATION 2022
Coosa Valley Academy 18 graduates 163 Park Place • Harpersville, AL 35078 Rebels • 195 students • 60 percent of students go on to attend a four-year college
Dear Coosa Valley Academy Senior Class of 2022, My first thought about you as a class is that you have weathered a storm that no one has ever expected (COVID 19). Your high school experience has forced you too grow up fast and become independent far to soon. My thoughts about this unusual adventure that you have taken is that God must have special plans for you. You may be part of the generation that could change the world that would once again stand strong for Christ in our country no matter what happens. My challenge to you as 2022 graduates is to realize that your future is extremely bright and with your endurance for life-changing events will make you accomplish any goal that you desire. As head of school, I am so proud of the fact that I have been with you through this journey. Please know that you hold a special place in my heart and prayers. I love you always.

AUBREE LU STRICKLIN Valedictorian
Cornerstone Christian
Dear Class of 2022, The Cornerstone Christian School class of 2022 has managed to accomplish much in spite of the circumstances they have had to endure. Most of them have already completed several college-level courses, and they have worked hard to be successful at both the high school and collegiate levels. I have no doubt that they are ready to tackle the challenges of their chosen universities. Many of these students have also been very involved in school activities while maintaining good grades and holding down a part-time job. They are an exceptionally talented and intelligent group of students, and I am so proud of them all. These seniors, like all other seniors this year, have also had to learn to navigate a world that was new to us all. None of them expected to have their last two years of high school in-
terrupted by a pandemic. Yet, as I would expect, these seniors have managed to learn to navigate this strange world and rise to the challenges. To the CCS Class of 2022, I say thank you for your strong, godly leadership during difficult times. Thank you for exemplifying what it means to be a Charger. As you go out into the world, take the knowledge and love of Jesus Christ with you and share it with others. Beyond the doors of this school, you are Cornerstone. Remember who you are and whose you are, and God bless you in this next chapter of your lives.
Margaret Pickett
Director, Cornerstone Christian School

Caleb Schuttinga Evangel Classical School senior Caleb Schuttinga is thankful for his time at Evangel, which has allowed him to learn and grow over the years. “I have been extremely blessed to go to Evangel,” Schuttinga said. “It is a lot of hard work, but all of the teachers care about their students, and help them not just learn, but grow. I have enjoyed having a smaller class (my graduating class has 17 students, and we are a big graduating class compared to years past), because we have gotten to know each other and our grade is close.” During his time at school, Schuttinga has played drums for the school’s chapel team, and in 2022, he became the chapel team leader. Outside of school, Schuttinga has joined Calera Police Department’s Cadet post, where he is taught by the police officers what police do on a day-to-day basis, and they are put in different scenarios police officers encounter daily.
Schuttinga’s favorite subject is math because it makes sense to him and has almost always come easily to him. “Although calculus this year has been very tough, I have enjoyed the challenge,”
Schuttinga said. “I have had a great teacher to help me out, and great classmates to work out the tough problems with.” The person who made the biggest impact on him is his history teacher, who taught
him all throughout high school. “I got to know her in the ninth grade, and she has helped me grow in my faith as a person,” Schuttinga said. “I haven’t always been the best at her class, but she has definitely helped me more than she knows, and she’s a huge inspiration to me.” Schuttinga plans to attend the University of North Alabama this fall to study criminal justice with the hope to eventually become a police officer. “I hope to remember all of the connections I made at Evangel with the teachers and the students, and I want to remember everything I learned in Bible class on how to defend my faith,” Schuttinga said. Schuttinga is the son of Scott Schuttinga, who has worked in law enforcement and helped influence Schuttinga’s desire to work in it himself and Karen Euler, who has shaped him to become who he is today.

Helena High School
Hampton Neugent Helena High School senior Hampton Neugent believes that anyone who wants to pursue excellence, should always bring their best effort in everything they do. “Talent and natural gifts are great, but they can only get you so far,” Neugent said. “If you truly want to achieve excellence, you have to put in the work; you have to earn it.” Neugent has been a member of his youth group’s servant leadership team since ninth grade, and he has led worship on the piano since being in eighth grade. He is also a member of the band at Helena, where he has spent a lot of time the last four years of high school. In 2022, he was selected as a member of the Alabama All-State band for tuba.

“I have really enjoyed my time here at Helena High School,” Neugent said. “The amount of support that the community gives to the high school is incredible and there’s always a packed house at any event I have gone to. One of the highlights from my high school experience was my first half-time show with the band and the sense of accomplishment that I felt as we marched off the field. The power and energy of the music was unlike anything I had ever experienced at that time.” A favorite subject for Neugent Additionally, Neugent also is history because it allows him spends time with the students to learn from the failures and with special needs at his church successes of previous generaand school, and also served as tions, while also watching the a teacher’s aide for the special development of ideas across enneeds classes for one period tire centuries. Someone who had a big imthroughout the school year.
pact on him during high school included a staff member in his youth group, Rushing Watson. “He gave me a lot of wise, Godly advice during my high school career and was always there whenever I needed him,” Neugent said. After graduation, Neugent’s plans include attending the University of Alabama, where he plans to graduate with a music education and history double major. After that, he would like to attend law school and become a special needs lawyer, protecting the rights of people with special needs and helping families ensure their children with special needs are provided for late in life. Hampton is the son of Chris and Angie Neugent.

Dear Indian Springs School Class of 2022,
transform you. Thank you for making your senior year a success for the Indian Springs community, despite the daunting circumstances facing the world. Your class will be defined not by these circumstances but rather by your unwavering pursuit of excellence in all facets of your lives. Earlier in the year, I asked each of you how you want to be remembered by the Indian Springs community after you graduate. Your reflections were thoughtful, filled with humility, and deeply moving. Much like your individual journeys, your legacy is built upon the relationships that matter most to you. Nurture and prioritize your relationships throughout your life. This is what will allow your legacy to live on well into the future. If you do, you will lead not only a successful life but also a meaningful one. I wish nothing less than that for each of you. Like your parents’ feelings now, the Indian Springs faculty and staff are overwhelmed by great joy and a sense of loss as you prepare to head out into the world. We are excited to see all you accomplish in life, and we will celebrate every significant milestone with you from afar. We will, however, miss you dearly. No matter where life’s twists and turns take you, remember you always have a home at Indian Springs.
It feels like just yesterday that your parents were dropping you off for the first day of your high school career at Indian Springs. The nerves and anticipation of that day have been replaced with growing confidence and a sense of self. Although there have been long and tiring days along the way, in hindsight, we can all agree that the years have flown by. Within a matter of a few short weeks, you will arrive on campus one last time as a student and leave as part of the Indian Springs Alumni Association. Wear this badge proudly, for it is a great accomplishment. Your journey was hard but meaningful. In a final attempt to impart some words of wisdom, remember that most things in life worth doing are hard. Never shy away from hard challenges throughout your life. You will be made better for trying. Graduation is a culminating moment to celebrate a fulfilling journey. Along this journey, you have made forever friends, learned to own your education, celebrated great accomplishments, supported one another in moments of angst and sorrow, and discovered who you are. Your teachers and coaches have poured their hearts into you. I know the faculty and staff at Indian Springs share in the pride and sense of accomplishment that you will feel as you walk across the stage to receive your diploma. You were not alone in your journey. Your friends, family, teacher, and coaches helped shape and Head of School, Indian Springs School

GRADUATION 2022
Montevallo High School
Dear Class of 2022, First, I want to thank you for a wonderful school year. You have stepped out of the shadows of the pandemic and traveled closer to discovering your purpose in life. Many of you have experienced arduous challenges throughout your high school career; however, you didn’t allow the doubt, fear, and anxiety to stop you from conquering your goals. While transitioning into college and/or your career, I pray you will continue to endure the hardships with exceptional effort and
with an optimistic attitude. As the great basketball coach John Wooden once stated, “Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turned out.” I truly believe you can make a real difference in this world if you seek what is righteous, maintain an optimistic attitude, and give your best effort. After high school, many of you will move away to seek opportunities in college or careers, but each of you will always cherish the special moments together at Montevallo High School. The faculty and staff at MHS are so proud of you. You have represented your community, school, and parents with pride and dignity. Now, go into the world and do great things!
Steve F. Bromley
Principal, Montevallo High School
Omar Velasco Montevallo High School senior Omar Velasco has grown to love living in a small town. “With everyone knowing each other, it is such a welcoming town,” Velasco said. “Being a part of the band, all of the homecoming events and games have all been exciting highlights for me in Montevallo. I’ve been able to keep the same friend group for years and years.” During his time at Montevallo, Velasco has been a part of the Scholars Bowl Team and Homecoming Committee, both of which he has been involved with since freshman year. Since eighth grade, Velasco has been a part of the school’s marching band, where he was the Low Brass Captain his junior year and band captain as a senior. After eighth grade, he was the first trombone for the rest of his time playing high school. In ninth and 10th grade, Velasco was part of the algebra
I and geometry math teams; his 10th grade year, he joined Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA); he has participated in the school’s Jazz Band since ninth grade; was part of his school’s Underwater Robotics Team; was inducted into MHS Mu Alpha Theta his 11th grade year; and during his junior and senior years, he helped with a decathlon that raised money for charity where he was in charge of an event each year; for his senior year, Velasco
became Montevallo’s Student Government Association President; joined Future Teachers of America (FTA); and joined the University of Montevallo TRIO Upward Bound program, which helped prepare him for college. Velasco also played soccer part of his senior year. Velasco said his favorite part of high school was playing in the band. “Being able to play my trombone was always something I looked forward to,” Velasco said. “Marching Band was something I fell in love with. Being in the stands and performing shows was always the highlight of each year.” Velasco credits Dawn Cabrera with having the best impact on him. “I have known Mrs. Cabrera for five years because of the band,” Velasco said. “Throughout all of the five band directors I have had in my time playing, she has remained a
constant. Constantly being supportive and motivating me to be better than who I am right now. She has given me the assurance that I have been pushing myself and working hard only for the better. I have had her for three years straight for my advanced math classes and I honestly don’t know what I would have done or am going to do without her.” After graduation, Velasco plans to attend UAB, where he is still undecided as to what he would like to study. “I want to be able to go into a career where I am hands-on and interacting with people,” Velasco said. “I am a huge talker, I love meeting and talking to people, and helping them would be phenomenal. My top two picks right now would be to become a nurse or major in genetics. UAB will definitely have the resources for me to be able to find that path.” Velasco is the son of Elisavet and Omar Velasco.

Oak Mountain High School
Dear Class of 2022,
“
I want to begin by thanking you for the warm welcome given to me and my fam-
ily when we rejoined the Oak Mountain community earlier this school year. It is a joy to get to come to work every day and support such an amazing group of young people. Your performance in the classroom, on the stage, and in the field of play epitomize what makes Oak Mountain High School such a special place.
If the senior class at Oak Mountain High School is in any way a representation of the future of our community, state, and nation, then we should all be excited about what is to come.
You will be leaving high school with an experience that is unique to any group of students that has come before you, but this experience will not define you. You are just beginning your journey and the resiliency that you
”
have shown over the last 4 years will serve you well as you pursue future endeavors. If the senior class at Oak Mountain High School is in any way a representation of the future of our community, state, and nation, then we should all be excited about what is to come. On behalf of your teachers and all the staff at Oak Mountain High School, we love you and we are proud of you.

GRADUATION 2022
Oak Mountain High School
Evan DuBose Oak Mountain High School senior Evan DuBose describes his time in high school as “exceptional.” “Even in COVID times,” DuBose said. “The highlight of the four years was sophomore year band season. The results of seeing the effort that was put into getting the show great and come to fruition was a fantastic experience.” DuBose was involved with the band as a tuba player, while he was also involved with math team, junior classical league, Oak Mountain Masters and the SODA club. He has also been involved with writing his own music for many genres with a focus on wind band and orchestral works. His favorite subjects in school are either math or physics and something he has enjoyed due to the excellent teachers who help with the complexity of each subject. “My biggest studying trick is to really not cram if possible and keep studying going as the unit or chapter progresses,” DuBose said. “The funniest part is I almost never did this, but when I did, my grades were almost 100. Class selection tip for the future is not to overestimate yourself. That affects your ability to study later.” Some individuals who had an impact on him included his math teacher Amanda Bittinger, Associate Band Director Travis Bender and Band Director Kevin Ownby.
“These three have set me up for an excellent future in ways I did not think even possible,” DuBose said. “They were constantly supporting my endeavors and pushing me to do better than I was.” After graduation, DuBose plans to study to become an aerospace engineer at Auburn University, where he will then go work for an aerospace company in ei-
ther mechanics/maintenance or design. “I hope to remember all of the amazing friends and teachers I have had who have constantly been there for me,” DuBose said. “I also hope to remember the excellent times I had growing in each class I went through.” DuBose is the son of Danny and Casi DuBose. He has two sisters, Natalie and Anna DuBose.

Nico Ramos Pelham High School senior Nico Ramos credits the warm community at his school to making the work not feel as hard, as well as a school staff that is eager to help. “I hope to not lose the great connections and friendships I have made with the students and staff at Pelham,” Ramos said. “There is not a better community one could ask for.” Ramos has been a part of the football team, the wrestling team, peer helpers club, HOSA club, and he currently works as a manager at a Chick-fil-A. “I can say my favorite part

of high school has been my senior year,” Ramos said. “Seeing the hard work pay off is just so rewarding and motivates more hard work.” Ramos said his favorite subjects are math and science. “I am also interested in other subjects such as philosophy, but the applicability and
necessity of math and science make the choice easy for me,” Ramos said. A typical day for the Pelham senior begins with either a football or wrestling practice or workout, followed by roughly seven hours of school, additional practices, workouts, games, tournaments or a shift at Chick-fil-A. A day
ends with whatever homework or studying needs to be done in preparation for the following school day. Ramos said his most productive study sessions were fueled by black tea and some form of non-lyrical music. Ramos plans to attend Yale University where he will possibly study something STEM-related. Ramos is the son of Twoie Prater-Porter; Steve Ramos and Edward Porter; and has an older brother, Gino Ramos and a younger brother, Mikey Ramos.
Dear Class of 2022, “When life shuts the door, open it. After all, that’s how doors are designed to work.” This quote seems to fit the Class of 2022 perfectly. As I read the quote, I immediately thought of your class and how your high school career has been the most unconventional experience ever! This group has obviously learned to make adjustments and persevere like no other. Your class began with a “normal” freshman year but was followed by closing down school in March of your sophomore year. As juniors, most of you were educated “remotely” and finally you have completed this experience with a somewhat normal senior year interrupted only briefly with small bouts of variants and mask wearing episodes. The Class of 2022 has pushed open every closed door and walked boldly into the next unknown room, not knowing what to expect but with expectations of making the absolute most of it! I have been amazed by your tenacity and entirely envious of your adventurous spirit. I would like to personally congratulate all of you for completing the mission. You did it, and I am extremely proud of each and every one of you! But most sincerely, I would like to thank you. As educators, we have poured our knowledge and wisdom into you, as best we can. We take pride in that accomplishment. However, the Class of 2022 has also poured into the “PHS Village” and unexpectedly, we have learned the most from you. You taught us how to find the good and diminish the bad in every challenge. You showed us what it looks like to appreciate and hold on to the small things, because you know how it feels to have those things taken from you. When we were overwhelmed and exhausted, you chose to demonstrate what it takes to have enthusiasm and relentless energy. Ultimately the most valuable lesson you taught us was to stay focused on our goal. You consistently demanded we push away the outside noise and remain focused on the mission. You impressed upon us the need to deny the critics and avoid the slippery slope of negativity by reminding us of the crucial importance of the overall outcome. If you want to be successful, set your goal and minimize the distractions. You were persistent in reminding us of our worthwhile goal. YOU are the goal. YOU, are the only goal that matters. You matter. I would like to personally thank YOU and congratulate YOU, the 2022 Senior Class of Pelham High School. The PHS spirit, as well as our ultimate quest to be the Best Village, will remain undefeated as long as we remember to focus our attention appropriately. Thank you for the valuable memories, but most importantly for the priceless education!
Congratulations class of 2022!

Dear SCHS Class of 2022,
“
You don’t have to have everything figured out right now, but don’t let fear of the uncertain or unknown keep you from moving forward and discovering the greatness you have to offer
Congratulations! You’ve made it. Your path to this point has been littered with obstacles that few of your predecessors have faced, but you’ve persevered and should hold your heads high. It has been my great honor to be your principal this year, and I appreciate that you have welcomed me with open arms at SCHS. Shelby County High School is a special place, and you have helped make it so. Experiencing normal things like field trips, full stadiums, homecoming, prom, talent shows, and concerts again brought me joy because it brought you joy. You modeled the hope and enthusiasm that your younger peers and our community needed as we emerged from the change and uncertainty of the previous few years. Thank you for leaving a lasting legacy that showcases the best parts of our community. I see the potential on the horizon for all of you. You have each
been blessed with a unique set of talents, temperaments, and convictions, each of which are needed in our world. If you hear nothing else, hear this: You are valuable, needed, and have something to add to our society that only you can. You don’t have to have everything figured out right now, but don’t let fear of the uncertain or unknown keep you from moving forward and discovering the greatness you have to offer. Whatever your next step is, take it with boldness and confidence. And remember, wherever your path takes you, you are always welcome back. Once a Wildcat, Always a Wildcat. Sincerely,

Anna Carter Shelby County High School senior Anna Carter’s favorite part of high school included homecoming. “Being a part of the Student Government Association allowed me to be involved with the planning of the whole week and putting it all together,” Carter said. “Some of my favorite memories are dressing up during the week with my friends, competing against the other grades, the homecoming football game and the dance.” During her time in school, Carter has played volleyball for six years, four of those were in high school. She has been in the BETA club and the National Honor Society for three years. She has been a Key Club member for four years and a Key Club officer her senior year. She has been in SGA for three years. During those three years, she has been the school chaplain and senior class treasurer.

last four years. “My time at Shelby County has been unforgettable,” Carter said. “The classes I have taken the past four years were taught by some of the best teachers I will ever know, and I have made some lifelong friends and memories. Some of the highlights of the past four years involve a lot
of after-school shenanigans. Mid-afternoon rehearsals for our spring concerts; having fun with my friends designing and building our homecoming parade floats to win first place (every year); and volleyball season was my favorite time of the year. There were weeks where we had six games and we would not get home until 11 p.m. My time on the court and those late nights with my teammates will forever stay with me.” Carter said an important study tip she has found helpful is to not wait until the night before to study for a test. “Studying the night before

a test can be so overwhelming and you will not be able to retain everything no matter how many hours you spend on it,” Carter said. “I would recommend starting a few days before your test, slowly trying to memorize little bits at a time, that way you will retain the subject much better, and you will have a better understanding of everything.” Carter said everyone in her family has made an impact on her, including her mom, who inspires her to work hard, and her dad, who inspires her to seek bigger and better things. Her brothers also show her that she can do anything. Carter plans to attend Auburn University in the fall where she will pursue a major in aerospace engineering and minor in a foreign language. Carter is the daughter of Jeff and Michelle Carter. She has two older brothers, Tyler and Tanner. Tyler went to Auburn University and Tanner went to a United States service academy.

GRADUATION 2022
Thompson High School
Addison Lusco Thompson senior Addison Lusco believes no one should ever feel ashamed for asking for help, staying curious or seeking knowledge. “Studying is not a one-size-fits-all method,” Lusco said. “Give yourself grace when you make a mistake or two. Ironically, I am not perfect at understanding that it is OK to be imperfect, but we all deserve grace when we fail. Grace allows for growth.” During her time at Thompson, Lusco was the president of the National Honor Society and History Club, which she started in 2022 and vice president of STEM Girls Club. She was also a member of Model UN, the debate team, Beta Club, Leo Club, Peer Helpers and the Alabaster Teen Council. She was a four-year member and chair of the Connection Column Committee as well, which produces articles for the Alabaster local newsletter. She was also named Best All Around for her senior senior class, a Senior Superlative, a Super Senior, won the title of Prom Queen and was named a salutatorian for the class of 2022. “My time at Thompson can definitely not be described in one word,” Lusco said. “That is the beauty of the high school experience; it is just as paradoxical as growing up can be. One moment it is prototypical, one moment it is completely individual. But overall, my Thompson experience has been very rewarding and full of growth. Some of the highlights have been seeing our football team win the state championship again, running Thomposon’s first-ever History Bowl and winning prom queen.” Lusco has enjoyed senior year because while it did have stressors, she was able to make connections and friendships with her classmates, while also discovering new parts about herself that placed her one step closer to uncovering the person she is meant to be. Lusco said she has been fortunate to have a plethora of amazing teachers who
have become both a mentor and an advocate to her. “I would like to give a particular shoutout to Mr. Jake Huggins, whose never-ending support reinvigorated me with the courage to follow my heart back into creativity,” Lusco said. Lusco plans to go to college and study
both the arts and sciences across the world, and simply: create. “Whether that be an Oscar-winning script or a new vaccine,” Lusco said. “I plan to create in whatever I do.” Lusco is the daughter of Phillip and Suzanne Lusco. She also has two younger brothers, Brayden and Carson Lusco.

To the Westminster Graduating Class of 2022, Graduation season at Westminster is a time to reflect on the many accomplishments of our senior class. While we have been blessed to co-labor with many senior classes, your class in particular leaves a special legacy in your wake. There is not a part of the life of the school that has not been positively affected by our seniors. Leadership opportunities were embraced by this class as athletic captains, house chairs, club leaders, and student mentors abound in this group. These skills now make their way to the 15 colleges and universities represented in our senior graduating class. The success found in our senior class included several athletic state titles, recognition as scholar athletes, state-wide art competitions and numerous academic and athletic scholar60

ships. Most recently, these seniors successfully defended their thesis projects before esteemed panels of their teachers and administrators. Without a doubt, these seniors leave a legacy as a class that helped to establish many of the traditions that will be carried on in the life of a Westminster student for years to come. Throughout it all, this class demonstrated a love for one another that, in good times and in bad, never wavered. As representatives of Westminster and, more importantly, of the Kingdom of God we are proud to send these seniors out into the world to positively influence those whom they will encounter in the lives ahead of them. May the Lord of all creation continue to bless and keep you all in your future pursuits!
