This year’s high school graduates have shown remarkable persistence and determination. With 96% graduating on time and 22 out of 26 (that’s 85%) accepted to four-year or community colleges, our alumni continue to show what’s possible with hard work, self-confidence, and support from their community.

And perhaps no one says it better than Rockira Harris, a Trinity Episcopal School graduate and future Howard Bison:
“What I’ve learned is this:
Adversity doesn’t define you —
your resilience, your strength, your ability to stand up again —
that’s what shapes you.
I am more than my trauma.
I am more than a demographic.
I am Rockira Harris.”
