Hello Braddock Community!

Welcome to the end of the school year!! What a busy few weeks it has been of celebrations, "lasts," awards, parties, projects, field days, shows, and lots of smiles and tears! It was a joy to attend the 6th grade promotion ceremonies and see the young faces as they get ready to make the journey from child to teen to young adult. Such a special moment filled with promise and possibility.

And it was an honor to attend the Braddock District school graduations and celebrate hard work and many successes of the Class of 2025! This class started high school already adept at navigating change, showing resilience and determination Their high school years were filled with building friendships, developing talents, passions, skills, and gaining knowledge along the way. Their hard work and kindness showed throughout their journey, and I cannot wait to see the amazing things they do as they start their adult lives and adventures.
