We were pleased to honor Ms. Charmaine Richards at the Class of 2024's graduation on Monday, June 10th. Ms. Richards is the parent of a graduating senior, and she served on both the School Governance Council and the PTO. Most recently, she was chair of the School Governance Council for several years and has been a dedicated parent at Great Path Academy and we honored her with a Parent Appreciation Award that reads "Parent Appreciation Award: In recognition of your PTO leadership and dedication to both our students and school." We wish her and her family the best of luck in the future and thank you for your support to GPA!
Congratulations to the Class of 2024 Salutatorian - Carina Chapps! She will be heading to the University of Connecticut in the fall. She shared these wonderful words at graduation with the Class of 2024, "As we look ahead toward the future, I encourage all of us to embrace what lies ahead with the same courage and determination that got us through these past four years. Everyone on this stage has the potential and ability to achieve great things in life. I am proud of each and every one of you, and I know your parents, siblings, friends, and those we’ve lost along the way who are watching over us, also share that pride. Congratulations, Class of 2024!"
Congratulations to GPA's Valedictorian, Murthida Salaou who will be attending Miami University in the Fall. Murthida shared inspiring words to her classmates to close out their chapter together and look toward the future. She said, "The challenges we have faced these past four years have taught us how to persevere and adapt as young adults. And now, as we enter this new chapter of our lives, I want to remind the class of 2024 that we possess resilience and the ability to embrace change. So whatever your next steps may be, whether that be college, trade school, or chasing dreams of being business owners and entrepreneurs, embrace the uncertainty that is the future." Congratulations Murthida on all of your accomplishments and best of luck!
