My congratulations and best wishes to 8th graders throughout the TUSD! With graduation and promotion ceremonies going on at city schools today (5-23), 13 year-olds will join their peers in the fall as members of various high school classes of 2016.... It's an important day for families, whether their sons and daughters are off to Cholla, Tucson, Catalina Magnet, or elsewhere; they can take this opportunity to pause and reflect on the joined sacrifices made in pursuit of an educational dream.
These students know that nothing of value in life is easy to obtain - from solving difficult social problems to mastering the English language. I am confident they will do themselves and their families proud!
Good luck, and have a safe summer!
