The event was well-attended, with a strong showing of families and students. The energy and enthusiasm was inspiring, as students proudly showcased their entrepreneurial projects and innovative ideas. We are excited to announce that 87 students will be graduating from our program on June 4th. Each of these students has demonstrated resilience, determination, and a strong commitment to their education. Over the course of their academic journey, they have overcome challenges, embraced opportunities for growth, and developed skills that will serve them well in the future. As they prepare to embark on their next chapter—whether it be college, career, or other personal endeavors—we are confident that they are well-equipped to succeed. We look forward to celebrating their accomplishments at the upcoming graduation ceremony and recognizing the dedication and support of their families and educators who have helped guide them along the way.” • Luke Lacy - Royal High School “Good evening trustees and members of the district cabinet.

We also had musical theater perform Spongebob on April 24th which was an incredible performance. Stagecraft made all of the sets which demonstrated their amazing crafting skills.

On May 3rd, our Senior Prom was held in the stunning Ahmanson Ballroom at the Skirball Cultural Center. The venue was beautiful, and the Leadership class received glowing feedback for organizing such a memorable night. Prom is a highlight for our seniors, a celebration marking the end of their high school journey. Looking ahead, seniors are excited for several upcoming events: Grad Night at Disney California Adventure, the Senior Yearbook Signing, Senior Gradfest, and of course, Graduation.
