Congratulations Class of 2026!
Your high school graduation is a time of celebration and an acknowledgement of the accomplishments you have made during your time in school Continuous learning, both formally and informally, is another necessary component of life The world we live in is changing rapidly, and you must use the wisdom you have gained during your years in school to be productive and to grow as a responsible member of your family, the workforce and as a citizen of our country
"To be yourself, in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else, is the greatest accomplishment " These words by Ralph Waldo Emerson still ring true today Whatever you set out to achieve in life can be accomplished if you remain true to yourself Follow your dreams, and set goals to give your life purpose and direction Find your passions, and pour your heart and soul into enjoying them Success comes to those who never quit You begin your post-high school life with a foundation of knowledge, skills and beliefs necessary to build successful lives
Life presents many different and unique challenges Use your talents energy and knowledge to make the world a better place Do your best in each situation to do what is right What you do in life will make a difference Believe that what you do today will affect tomorrow Instead of the world changing you you help change the world
You are off to a great start May the future bring you much success and happiness
Sincerely, Greg Linton Superintendent, Cloverdale Community Schools
