From The Principal
I would like to offer special congratulations to the Class of 2015! You have arrived at the end of your journey.
The road to graduation has its peaks and valleys and I hope you have enjoyed all the experiences along the
way. I hope you seized all the rich opportunities while attending SCCS, gave your best effort, and set
meaningful goals for the future. I watched you grow into the young adults you have become and could not be
more proud of all your accomplishments and contributions while at our school. You truly are a special group
and one that will be remembered for many years.
Class of 2015, you are prepared for the next phase in your life. Whether you are going to college, enlisting in
the military, or joining the workforce, I am proud to call you SCCS graduates. Sophocles, one of the most
influential writers of Ancient Greece, once said that, “success is dependent on effort.” I hope you give your
best effort on your chosen path of study in the future. With 100% effort, anything is possible. My best wishes
on a prosperous future.
Mr. Carnicelli
