We are so proud of our 2021 seniors and all of their incredible accomplishments. We know families and the entire 901 community are also excited to celebrate our graduates and all the amazing opportunities and life-changing goals we know they will achieve. As we prepare to commemorate the unstoppable class of 2021, we encourage everyone to share their favorite graduation moments with us on social media by using the hashtag, #UN2TOPPAB1E.

Send it to us so we can consider it for our stories and promotions throughout graduation season.

THE CLASS OF 2021’S BEST & BRIGHTEST

On May 6, SCS honored our 2021 grads who worked hard to achieve their high school’s highest academic honors as Valedictorians and Salutatorians. The Virtual Scholar’s Celebration, “Honoring Excellence,” included music, performances, special guests and tributes. In celebration of their accomplishments, Superintendent Dr. Joris M. Ray announced that each Valedictorian will receive $1,500, and each Salutatorian will receive $1,000.
