Early last month, our Assistant Principal, Ms. Frederick, and our Co-Director of School Counseling, Ms. Laurie Medeiros, had the immense honor of sharing some momentous news with two of our outstanding seniors: Ellis Retzer has been named the Class of 2026 Salutatorian, and Ellis Wood has been named our Valedictorian. Throughout their years on our campus, both individuals have paired intellectual curiosity with a drive for academic excellence, leaving an indelible mark on our school community through their unique educational achievements. Beyond their scholarly success, they have consistently demonstrated exceptional character, civic-mindedness, and genuine citizenship, earning the profound respect of peers and faculty alike for their kindness and integrity. As they prepare to take the stage at Merrill Auditorium tomorrow for our 152nd Graduation Commencement ceremony, the entire school community extends its proudest congratulations and wholeheartedly wishes them both the absolute best in all of their future endeavors.
