To the graduating class of 2024,
Congratulations! As Superintendent of Montgomery Public Schools (MPS), I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to each and every one of you on your remarkable achievement. Graduating from high school is a significant milestone in your life, and you should be incredibly proud of all your accomplishments.
As you prepare for your next life chapter, whether pursuing higher education, entering the workforce, entering the military, or exploring other opportunities, I want you to carry the values and lessons you have learned during your time at MPS. Always remember that if you put in hard work and have integrity and kindness in all that you do, you’ll create a path to achieve your goals.
You’ll always have your parents, family, teachers, school staff, and our district supporting you every step of the way. Life will come with many challenges, but remember, you can overcome anything. We’ve prepared you to conquer the world and reach your highest potential.
Finally, I want to thank our parents, guardians, and supporters. Your support proves that we’re stronger together. I want to encourage you all to continue supporting MPS and playing an active role in our schools and community. We encourage you to volunteer or join a school’s local PTA.
Again, congratulations Class of 2024! You did it!
