“This day belongs to you. It’s a celebration of your hard work, your growth and your determination. The community you’ve built in this program…. that is valuable for a good life. I really hope you continue to nurture the community you’ve built and the relationships you have. Your success makes our community stronger,” School Board president Nikki Otero Lockwood shared during the celebration.
Before students received their high school diploma and a certificate of completion for the program, they recognized retiring IMAGES teacher Midge Rigsby whose 47-year career in education has impacted hundreds of students and families in our community.
