“I decided to move to Prep for my sophomore year; it was the best decision I’ve made. The sense of community is strong here, from classmates to faculty.”

“I am happy to have called Prep my home for the last seven years.”

“I believe that I am as prepared as I can be for the upcoming changes in my life.”

“Everything I have accomplished, I dedicate to the incredible family I have and have encountered on my journey through Prep.”

“I cherish the good times for stories I can tell to my children, and I cherish the hard times as stories I can use to grow as a human being.”

“I am very excited for the next chapter of my life, a chapter that would not be possible without Sandia Prep.”

“Walking onto this campus for the first time in sixth grade, I knew that this was the right place for me.”

“As I leave high school, I am grateful to everyone who has propped me up and given me every opportunity to succeed. It is because of you that I can be proud of who I have become and how I have grown.”

“Over my time at Sandia Prep, I grew into the young woman that my younger self would be proud of.”

“I would like to thank the teachers that pushed me and encouraged me to explore different ideas and subjects. Books I would have never read, classes I would have initially avoided, and clubs never before joined were presented to me as opportunities for exploration and knowledge.”

“I’d like to thank my teachers, whose passion for their subjects never ceased to inspire. Each department fostered an environment that allowed us to grow academically and as people.”

“These seven years have enriched my life in ways I cannot explain and have molded me into the person I have always wanted to be. A person who speaks with a confident voice, stands strong, and takes their own learning by the reins, and pursues it with joy.”
