Dear Archbishop Carroll,
Thank you for all of the amazing memories that you have allowed me to create over the past four years. I am so thankful to be a part of such a loving community and to have been acquainted with such amazing people. I will never forget all of the pep rallies, proms, and other school events that I have been privileged to be a part of. I have highly cherished every single class I have taken here. The class I will cherish the most is Ceramics due to the endless laughs I have shared with my classmates. I hope all the connections I have made at Archbishop Carroll are everlasting and that my classmates become beyond successful. It is so bittersweet to see my days here ending, as it feels like just yesterday I started my freshman year. However, I know that Carroll has prepared me for the next chapter of my life in the best way possible.
I am everlastingly grateful to my parents for giving me the gift of Catholic education. Here at Archbishop Carroll, I have felt my faith develop even stronger than before. Attending a Catholic school has allowed me to learn about God through different perspectives, such as Kairos and Catholic Athletes for Christ. If I never attended here, I fully believe my foundation of faith would have lessened due to social pressures and temptations. All of the memories made and the growth of my faith in between these walls will never be forgotten.
Lastly, thank you to all of the teachers who have put in ample amounts of time and energy to make our high school experience unforgettable. Even through the hardest of times, you all have always put your students first. I believe that many of us have taken you all for granted, yet we still received your best efforts every single day. I will never forget the knowledge I have learned, both from physical school and the life lessons taught. Each teacher I have had has taught me something new about myself or helped me discover areas I can improve on. I will always be grateful for all of the support both teachers and administration have given me to be the best version of myself.
