Editor’s Note
I am thrilled to welcome you to the latest edition of the UPIKE Magazine. As the editor and art director, it is an honor to curate and share the inspiring stories that showcase the diverse talents, achievements and journeys of our extraordinary community.
My name is Katie Ray and I have had the privilege of serving as the steward of these pages since 2019. In crafting this magazine, I have had the pleasure of working alongside a remarkable team, each contributing their unique talents to bring these stories to life. I am deeply grateful for each person who played a role, big or small, in creating this publication. Together, we have sought to capture the essence of UPIKE – a place where dreams are nurtured, potential is unleashed and the pursuit of greatness becomes a collective journey.
As we celebrate the achievements and milestones within these pages, let us also celebrate the sense of connection that binds us all. From alumni success stories to the vibrant accomplishments of our students, each page unfolds a narrative of dedication, growth and impact.
Cultivating excellence is not just a goal, but a shared commitment that unites us all. It is seen in the passion of our educators, the tenacity of our students and the accomplishments of our alumni making a difference in their respective fields. Thank you for being an integral part of the UPIKE community and for allowing me to share your stories.
Keep thriving!
