Graduations -- issuing diplomas, shaking hands, giving hugs and congratulations, talking with families and teachers, etc. --  are one of proudest and most special experiences for me as a Dallas ISD Trustee.    

Triple that for loved ones who have watched their student grow and blossom to reach the graduation milestone.

Thanks to  everyone who supported, taught, encouraged, sacrificed and prayed for the 2013 Graduates.  You must feel proud.

Congratulations, 2013 Graduates!
