8th grade graduation: an inspiring morning!

Guests write positive messages on posters for each graduate
We're still going through all the photos and videos from graduation morning, but here are a few quotes from students which speak to the impact this school community is making.

Crystal (this year's social valedictorian*) on her growth as a person: "I have learned to think before I react...I communicate my feelings."

Jaquan (academic valedictorian): While he was proud of a long list of things, including being on the cover of Yale Magazine, he was "most proud of making honor roll every quarter I was here"..."We will always remember the Domus way of doing things...when things get rough, we can always count on our Domus family."

*We have an academic valedictorian, the traditional honor which goes to the student who has shown the most academic growth, but we also have a social valedictorian, an honor bestowed upon the student who has shown the most social/emotional growth.
