Meet the $135 Million Class of 2023!

    • The Class of 2023 graduated in eight traditional commencement ceremonies that marked the beginning of their adult lives and the future they will build for themselves and their children. We bid farewell to more than 1,500 young women and men whose perseverance earned them a whopping $135 million in scholarships, acceptance at competitive colleges and universities, and career paths in the United States military. We cannot wait to see what they do!
