The new school year has arrived, planters with brightly colored mums, the first apple crop and the last batches of local peaches greet us at the grocery stores, and I am feeling hopeful for what is to come for our students and community this fall. I am definitely holding onto hope as we continue to navigate challenging and uncertain times in our country’s higher education landscape.
On a good note, I am very proud of our seniors who recently submitted 1st drafts of their college lists and are working hard writing their college application essays. I also feel excited for our recent graduates who are moving into college and starting a new chapter in their educational journey. In truth, a new school year is a new beginning for all of us. On that note, please take a look at some of my favorite quotes below-words of wisdom to inspire us as we start the fall semester.
