“Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us”

Dear Students,

New Year is the time to celebrate a new beginning…..It’s the time to unfold new horizons……..

You are the earth's most valuable resource. Your efforts, your thoughts, and your dreams will carry us all to places we can only imagine today.

Isaac Newton once said: "If I have seen further than others, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants." Your parents and your teachers, along with the millions of people who have lived and learned before you, have provided the shoulders. You have the opportunity and the responsibility to see further, to learn more, to make a better world.

You will have access to technology we can only imagine today, but the greatest technology is within you. Your mind and your heart are greater than any tool. The future is an awesome place. It is an honor to help prepare you for it.

May the year to follow be among the best you’ve ever spent.

Happy New Year
