The brunch highlighted the students’ academic success, with special recognition given to those who demonstrated excellence in the classroom, leadership in extracurricular activities, and commitment to personal growth. The students also took time to reflect inward and collectively by voting on and receiving superlatives, a tradition that celebrated the unique personalities and positive spirit of the class.
“The brunch provided a meaningful way to celebrate the journey of the eighth grade class while also inspiring them as they prepare to transition into high school,” said Dean of Middle School Tremaine Mitchell.
As they depart for high school, words of encouragement were shared by current students and alumni, who shared personal stories and reflections on their time at Inspire. Those now in high school spoke about how their middle school experiences – from the challenges to the triumphs – shaped their confidence, character, and success in the next chapter of their education.
The brunch served as one last opportunity for the group to be together as one. As they inevitably splinter off in the next phase of their education, the memories they created at Inspire will stay with them.
“It was a proud moment for staff, families, and the entire school community,” Mitchell said.
Congratulations, Inspire Class of 2025!
