“All our campuses come together and we kind of celebrate our achievements as a senior class,” said Lopez.

Master Charter Schools CEO Scott Gordon says 100% of their graduating seniors have a plan after high school.

“We’re celebrating kids who are going on to the service, kids who are taking the next big step in life, who have worked hard. This is a celebration of them pursuing their dreams,” Gordon said.

“Since 7th grade, we’ve worked our way slowly from sitting in the bleachers, to moving our way towards the stage, to being seniors and it’s overwhelming!” said Lopez.
