🎓Not everyday you have an opportunity to give your child his diploma — I tools the personal privilege to do so and I told him this: “To my son, Hudson, Watching you grow into the man you are today has been the greatest honor of my life. You have worked hard, stayed true to yourself, and earned your place on this stage. I could not be prouder to hand you this diploma tonight-not just because I'm your superintendent, but because I am your biggest fan.” 

My boy!! 🥹 It’s a wrap!
