The iLEAD Academy Class of 2024 was recognized for its achievements and given parting words of wisdom from iLEAD Director Jenna Gray.
Students from all five counties were brought on stage to receive a sash to wear at the high school graduation along with a gift bag from iLEAD.
“We’ve faced some challenges, but we’ve also found new ways to connect and thrive,” Gray said to the seniors. “You’ve worked tirelessly to make an impact on other people’s lives.”
Gray is ending her tenure as director of iLEAD Academy after nine years. Each year she gives the “Dream big, work hard, stay kind” award to a special student. This year, she bestowed the award to the entire Class of 2024.
“Embrace your passions and don’t fear failure. If you ever doubt how absolutely incredible you are, reach out to me and I will remind you,” Gray said.
Gray and several other teachers who will be leaving iLEAD Academy were recognized by the student body for their years of service with a red rose symbolizing each year they have worked at the school.
