Today we had the pleasure of welcoming 100 graduates from La Quinta High School as they walked the halls of Gerald Ford in their caps and gowns in front of all 590 of our Falcon Awesome students! 🎓

The Grad Walk was an incredible way to inspire our students and showcase the Portrait of a Graduate as these seniors continue their educational journey all the way through 12th grade and beyond. We are proud of each and every one of them and can’t wait to see what the future holds!
