We would like to extend our congratulations to our youngest Sharks who have graduated from PreK. You have demonstrated significant growth and your curiosity, creativity, and joy are truly inspiring. We look forward to seeing you build on this momentum in kindergarten.

If you had a PreK graduate today, we would love to see your pictures in the comments!

On Wednesday, the 5th-grade end-of-year banquet marked a significant milestone. Today, we saw our students off as they transition to middle school. We offer our best wishes for their future, knowing that Once a Shark, always a Shark! We also had the privilege of welcoming back alumni who are graduating as the class of 2026. Seeing them return to inspire our students was truly uplifting. Boundless opportunities lie ahead.
