Congrats, Grads!

“I am beyond grateful to have attended a school like Sandia Prep. This school has provided me with lifelong friendships and with the best teachers that this country has to offer.”

“Up until recently, I felt anxious whenever I thought of finishing high school and starting a new chapter. But being here today, after going through the senior year, I am filled with exhilaration and excitement to embark into another world and offer all I have.”

“I only had three years here, but I wish more than anything that I could have had the full stay. The people that I've met here are incomparable, and that above all else is what makes Prep so special.”

“Since I stepped onto the Sandia Prep campus as a sixth grader, I knew I would love it. It has been a great experience for seven years, and I have loved every aspect of my learning and being able to create long-term memories.”

“Because of the foundation Prep set for me, I am now ready to conquer anything. I have so much confidence and faith in myself and have learned the true value of perseverance and never giving up.”

“I would like to thank Sandia Prep for giving me the tools to start my academic journey towards becoming an equine veterinarian so I can spend the rest of my life doing what I love.”

“I cannot wait to see what the future will present me with, but I feel ready to accept whatever comes at me. Although my time here is done, I feel that all the connections that I have made with my friends and teachers will be there forever.”

“To my teachers: Thank you for your endless patience and compassion. You have taught me the value of failure, the importance of practice, and the power of passionate people. I am eternally in awe of your kindness and dedication to the community.”

“Being surrounded by the Prep community has given me a unique space to grow and develop as a person and student. Thank you to my coaches for their lessons and teachings that can not only be applied to sports but also be used throughout my life.”

“I have learned so much throughout these four years, not just as a student but as a person. I have learned how to be a good friend to my peers, and I have learned how to lead and keep a positive relationship with my community.”

“I am graduating with dreams, and I am prepared to chase them because of the foundation Sandia Prep has prepared me with.”

“Sandia Prep is a community of kind people, and these people have given me endless opportunities to participate in activities that helped me to grow, from being part of the band and musical in sixth grade, to taking choir and film, to running the soundboard on Mamma Mia!”

“I always felt so thankful that I got the chance to come to this school because I knew I was coming to a place where I would get the best education possible, and that would fully prepare me for my future.”

“I am especially grateful for the math and science teachers who have supported my interests. I also enjoyed all the great adventures with the OLP. As I head off to college, I appreciate the friends, educators, and experiences at Prep that have prepared me for the next stages of my life.”

“The invaluable experiences gained from Mock Trial and SGA will undoubtedly be carried with me throughout my college journey and beyond.”

“To all of the teachers and coaches I have had during my time at Prep, thank you for pushing me to be my best and genuinely caring about my well-being.”

“I’d like to start by thanking my teachers, in particular Ms. Plath, Dr. Crago, and Dr. Chalfoun. They all made subjects that I thought I would’ve struggled with into some of my favorite classes I’ve ever taken.”

“Throughout the years here at Prep, I made new friends, memories, lessons, and experiences that helped build who I am today as an individual with the confidence and strength to do what I will achieve in my future academic career.”
