As we get ready to send our seniors off to their post-graduation placement, we are reminded of Nelson Mandela’s words, “Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.” We believe at City on a Hill, we have more than a few world changers. Thank you again for all you have done and continue to do for your young people.
Best,
Laura Edouard, Principal Sonya Pratt, Chief of School
