7th Grade Class Creed

We the class of 2025 strive to see the good in others and make the best of any situation.

Our heads are not in the clouds. They are in the stars.

Our spirits shine brightly and nothing can douse our fire.

As a class we do not dwell on the past, but look to the future

as we rise above our foes and refuse to back down from the challenges we face.

We will work to make what was said to be impossible, possible.

We will remember the past, strive for the future, and make the most of the present. 

We are the class of 2025!
