May - A Word from the Headmaster

“It has been a long journey, but if you dream and have the ambition and want to work hard, then you can achieve.” – Mo Farah

CLASS OF 2019 - In just 10 days, the Class of 2019 will graduate and leave Kerr-Vance Academy for the next phase of their life’s journey.  It is an exciting time for these twenty-three seniors and their families.  In just a short while, those Saturday morning SATs, college application deadlines, essays, exams, homework, and other stressors of being a high school senior will be distant memories.  Senior year has indeed been a journey, but a journey worthwhile.  What has challenged them has made them stronger.  I am certain that these twenty-three seniors will take from this place the experiences, memories, bonds, and knowledge that will serve them well in the future.  Each of them is special.  Each of them has talents that are waiting to be tapped.  They have the potential to change the world.  I am sure that they will find success, happiness, and have a positive impact on their communities.  Godspeed Class of 2019 and don’t forget to enjoy the journey!  

THANK YOU –

Students - Our kids have worked very hard this year.  I am very proud of their efforts and the things they have accomplished.  Many of them have excelled in the classroom and achieved their academic goals set this year.  I am equally proud of those students who have worked so hard and shown growth in their academics during this school year.  Learning can be challenging at times.  Many of our students have accepted that challenge, pushed themselves and taken their learning to higher levels.  That is what education is all about.

Staff – We are blessed to have a caring, hard-working faculty and staff at KVA.  They have really answered the bell this year.  It is really inspiring to see how they personalize learning for our students and help each of them reach their potential.  They put in many hours of preparation and give their very best every day.  Thank you KVA faculty and staff!

Families - I would like to thank our families for all of your support this school year.  Kerr-Vance Academy thrives because you care deeply and invest in this school.  We are very grateful for your time, talents, and financial support to make this school the very best it can be.  Thank you!

 

Have a wonderful summer!
