As we close the final chapter of this school year, I am filled with pride and gratitude. Watching our seniors accept their Career Passports and head confidently into the world—whether toward careers, college, or military service—was truly a heartfelt and memorable experience. These moments remind us why we do this work and the lasting impact of preparing students for what comes next.

This year has been marked by outstanding accomplishments. Our rising seniors embody what it means to be Next Ready, earning hundreds of industry-recognized credentials and representing our school with excellence in CTSO competitions. We celebrate students that advancied to the state level and cheered a national champion with a first-place finish at BPA Nationals—an incredible achievement.

It has been a successful year because of the dedication of our students and the unwavering support of our staff. As we head into summer, we look forward to a well-earned time to rest, recharge, and return refreshed and ready to make next year even stronger.

Every year, guardians and parents wishing to take advantage of the free and reduced lunch program for their student must reapply. The application will be open 7/1/2026. More information can be found at the following link: https://hs.greatoaks.com/food-services

Mind Peace developed a wellness guide (please see attached) to assist juniors and seniors with transition. While Best Point will provide seniors with a transition folder and plan, the wellness guide is a great resource for all graduating seniors. Mind Peace is aiming to also increase awareness and encourage any rising seniors and parents to reach out for services over the summer or early in the fall.
