The end–of–year celebrations are reaching their peak, and Allison Academy is on fire!
The bittersweet moments of saying goodbye to our seniors are incoming fast, and we are ready for them. As our seniors spent their last days in the school reviewing for finals and will only be coming in for official tests until their official graduation this Tuesday, May 24th, we are bound to create a sound space for them, to review their knowledge and prepare for their university entrance exams.
But of course, we had to celebrate and highlight their accomplishments before we send them off to their future careers in our annual end-of-year awards ceremony. Allison Academy also praised the achievements of our undergraduate students, bearing in mind that education is a journey and that every milestone must be rewarded accordingly.
A class of true future leaders
Allison Academy’s class of 2022 has come to the end of its high school experience. The awards ceremony was an emotional moment for everyone, as the seniors took pride in their achievements through the years spent at Allison, and got prepared for entering a whole new era on their academic path.
“Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.”
—Malcolm X
Students were recognized for academic excellence, extracurricular activities, and growth mindset, and even a true grit award was presented. This group of students exemplifies all of these characteristics and more, the faculty looks forward to their success. This is always an emotional moment for our staff as they reflect on the memories and bonds they have built with these students throughout the years, and realize they will soon be gone to pursue their dreams.
A goodbye feast
The graduates also had occasion at the Senior Dinner, an event truly unique to Allison Academy in which students and teachers attend a formal dinner together bringing about an opportunity to strengthen bonds and have a form of farewell. Like families at the Thanksgiving table, the faculty and students reminisced on memorable moments during the school year and their time spent together.
Maintaining strong bonds between students and faculty is a true Allison Academy thing – as the students and teachers spend a lot of time together in a school setting, their relationships develop into family-like bonds, with unconditional support and care for each other. Allison Academy believes that those bonds will be remembered as something that made an impact on their growing up!
Praising the hard work
The award ceremony for our undergraduate students also took place, and you could probably hear the cheering down the main avenue. Allison Academy teachers had an award ceremony for our middle schoolers as well, who were commended for their efforts and great results during this school year.
“What makes a child gifted and talented may not always be good grades in school, but a different way of looking at the world and learning.”
—Chuck Grassley
It is remarkable when students can celebrate each other’s high with genuine sincerity and we are extremely proud of the school culture at Allison Academy. Our faculty had an opportunity to address the student body cheer and celebrate their growth and accomplishments both academically and socially. We are excited to continue seeing the growth in these students in the upcoming years.
