Welcome to the third commencement ceremony of Richmond High School for the Arts. Good morning families, friends, faculty, staff, honored guests, and most importantly, the graduating class of 2026. [cheering] Today is more than a ceremony. It is a celebration of perseverance, purpose, and promise. It is the culmination of years of hard work, sacrifice, growth, and determination.
006And above all else, today is about finishing what we started. Graduates, your journey has not always been easy. There were moments when the path felt uncertain. Moments when challenges tested your confidence, your patience, and even your strength. Yet through every obstacle, you continue to move forward. That is called Resilience is not the absence of difficulty. It is the ability to keep going in the face of challenge. There will be people, places and things which present as obstacles. But know this, there is no person, no place, nor thing that can stop you from achieving your desired destiny. You learn how to adapt, how to rise after setbacks, how to believe in yourselves even when circumstances try to convince you otherwise. That resilience will continue to carry you far beyond these walls. But success is not built
007on resilience alone. Along this journey, you also learn the power of empathy. You learn how to support one another. You learn how to listen to one another and stand beside one another during difficult times. In a world that often moves too fast, empathy reminds us to remain human. It reminds us that kindness matters, relationships matter, and how we treat people will always matter. As you move into your next chapter, whether it is college, the military, the workforce, entrepreneurship, or another path, never lose your ability to care for others. Intelligence may open doors, but character determines how long you remain in the room. Today also celebrates your commitment to the process. Success does not happen overnight. Success does not happen overnight, but through consistency. Through long nights, early mornings, revisions, practices, failures, corrections, and even growth.
008Every assignment completed, every rehearsal attended, every lesson learned, and every challenge overcome became part of your process. And because you stayed committed to that process, you are now sitting here as graduates. That matters. Finally, I challenge each of you to think about the legacy you want to leave behind. Legacy is not about popularity, titles, or even recognition. Legacy is about impact. It is about the lives you touch, the example you set, and the difference you make when no one is watching. Years from now, people may not remember every word you said, but they will remember how you made them feel. They will remember your leadership, your integrity, and your compassion, and also your willingness to uplift others. Class of 2026, you have already begun building your legacy here at RHSA. Today is not the end
009of your story. It is the beginning of a new one. So, as you walk across this stage today, walk proudly. Walk confidently. Walk knowing that you finished what you started. And wherever life takes you next, continue to lead with resilience, empathy, and purpose. Congratulations to the graduating class of 2026. [cheering] [applause] Your future is bright. Your possibilities are endless and your legacy is just beginning. Thank you and once again, welcome as today is the first day of the rest of your life. We thank each of you for coming this morning and sharing in our 2026 commencement ceremony. Ladies and gentlemen, after greetings from the Honorable Shondaanda Fernandez, 9th District School Board Representative and Chair, the program will proceed as printed. Good morning, everyone. We're going to try one more time. I don't feel the energy
010just yet in the room. Good morning, everyone. There we go. My name is Shiovanda Fernandez. As shared, I am the chair of Richmond public school board and also the ninth district schoolboard representative. I am joined by my colleagues and I ask that if they would stand just one more time with me. Um we have Miss Rzzy who is the representative for uh Richmond High School of the Arts. We have Miss Gerald Burke and we also have Mr. Jafari. I would also be remiss if I didn't honor our senator uh Michael Jones who is here. Thank you so much for your continued advocacy. Thank you. I want to acknowledge Superintendent Cameras, the outstanding leadership team at Richmond High School of the Arts, the administrators, teachers, counselors, and staff. Thank you for creating an atmosphere and environment
011where students can thrive. I also want to recognize the parents, caregivers, grandparents, relatives, mentors, and friends who are here today. You're created, you all created a village for these amazing students. So, this diploma may not have your name on it, but you truly do deserve to be honored for creating a community for these individuals. So, please give yourself a round of applause. As chair of Richmond public schools bo school board, it is my honor to stand before you today to celebrate the amazing graduating class of 2026 of Richmond High School of the Arts. There's a powerful quote by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. that says, "Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step." Graduates, this morning is about first steps. You're stepping into a
012new season of life filled with opportunity, growth, uncertainty, surprises, and possibilities. At the same time, your school is preparing to step into a new beginning as it moves into a new building next year. That is what makes this moment so special. It is a reminder that life is always moving forward. New beginnings can sometimes feel uncomfortable because they require us to leave behind what is familiar, but they also create space for greater things ahead. The memories made within the walls of Richmond High School of the Arts will always be part of your story. The lessons learned, the friendships built, the challenges overcome, and the moments that shaped you into the young men and women you are today. But your future is bigger than any one building and your potential is greater than any limitation placed
013before you. As you move into this next chapter, remember that success is not only measured by titles or accomplishments. It is measured by your character, your integrity, and how you treat others along the way. Whatever direction you take after today, walk into it with confidence and courage. Class of 2026, you don't need to have every answer today. So, take a breath. You simply need the courage to take the first step. On behalf of the Richmond Public Schools Board, we are proud of you. We believe in you and we are excited to see all the incredible places your journey will take you. Congratulations again. Thank you. Hey, Richmond Public Schools class of 2026. It's your mayor, Danny. I'm not just your mayor, but I'm also a proud Richmond public schools dad, and I am so excited
014and honored to be celebrating you today, RPS graduates. You did it. Graduation is a huge milestone and I want you to know how proud I am, not just as your mayor, but as someone who believes deeply in the power of our young people. You've shown strength and determination and a whole lot of heart to get here. Through every challenge, every late night, every test, every new experience, you kept going and today you're walking across that stage as a graduate. That is no small thing. That is amazing work. Some of you have overcome big challenges, family struggles, health issues, school pressures, or just figuring out who you are and what's next. And yet, here you are. You didn't give up. You kept moving forward. And we see you. To the families, the teachers, the school staff,
015and everyone who supported you. Thank you. It truly takes a village, and you have been that village for these incredible young people. Class of 2026, your future is bright. Richmond needs your energy, your creativity, your passion, and your voice. And whether you're headed to college, a career, the military, or something uniquely your own, I hope that you carry with you pride in who you are and where you come from. You are a part of the story of this city, and I believe in you with my whole heart. Congratulations, graduates. Go out and shine. Richmond is cheering you on. Good morning all.

018from graduating and I'd like to point out that we are the last class to graduate from the old RHSA building. [applause] When it feels like just yesterday we were co sixth graders.

Whatever path you have chosen, I hope you all find success and achieve great things. And there might be moments where it'll feel tough, but we must remember that our class has overcome many things and shown resilience each time. With each step we take, it should be with pride, strength, and with the desire to build opportunities. We must bring over that resilience and courage that each one of us has shown during
019our time at RHSA as we close this chapter and open a new one to endless possibilities. And last but not least, much gracias. Thank you and congratulations class [applause] of 2026. [cheering] >> Good morning administrators, teachers, staff, family, friends, and the incredible class of 2026. Standing here today as valadictorian, graduating with a 4.8 GPA is an honor I don't take lightly. Still, my high school career was so much more than grades, rankings, or achievements. Like many of us, excuse me, like many of us sitting here today, it was about sacrifice, growth, learning how to keep going during mo during moments when life felt overwhelming. During my high school career, I experienced one of the greatest losses of my life, the passing of my mom. Losing a parent changes you in ways that are hard to
020explain. It changes how you see time, how you move through life, and how you carry yourself every day. There are mornings when getting out of bed felt harder than any assignment I had due. There are nights when I stared at school work knowing I needed to focus, but grief had completely taken over my mind. The truth is grief does not pause for homework, deadlines, exams or jobs or responsibility. Life keeps moving whether you feel ready or not. What I realized through through these moments was realizing I was never carrying everything alone. I want to recognize Mr. Clater and my career coaches for the support that they gave me throughout these past four years. They were more than coun counselors or adviserss to me. They reminded me of my potential during moments when I felt burnt
021out balancing high school, college level coursework, jobs, and personal loss. When I doubted myself, they reminded me that my goals still mattered. Their encouragement gave me confidence to continue pushing myself academically even during some of the mo sorry even during some of the hardest moments of my life. To my teachers, thank you. Thank you for seeing students as people before anything else. Thank you for your patience, your encouragement, and your grace you gave us on difficult days. You challenged us academically while still reminding us that our worth was never defined by one assignment, one test score, or one bad moment. Thank you to my family and everyone who supported me throughout these years. Every conversation, every check-in, every word of encouragement mattered more than you probably know. Throughout throughout high school, I challenged myself by
022taking college courses at Reynolds Community College while also working multiple jobs. I've been working since I was 15 years old and balancing high school classes, college coursework, and long shifts after school became exhausting. There were nights where I came home physically tired, mentally drained, and still had assignments waiting for me. Burnout became very real for me. And I know that many graduates here understand exactly what that feels like. Some of us work jobs. Some of us helped support our families. Some of us struggled with mental health, mental health, pressure, loss, self-doubt, or responsibilities. Every graduate sitting here today has a story behind their success. I am deeply grateful to Richmond public schools for giving students like me opportunities that truly changed our lives. Through dual enrollment, they invested in our futures and allowed many of
023us to experience high school level education while still in the high school. The opportunity showed me that my goals were still possible even during one of the most darkest periods of my life. Standing here with the 4.8 GPA does not tell my whole story. It does not show the exhaustion, the setbacks, the tears, the burnout, or the moments where I question whether I was strong enough to keep going. Most importantly, it does not show the village that got me here. The teachers, the teachers who checked in on me, the counselors, the career coaches who encouraged me, my family who supported me, my classmates who made school feel a little lighter, and everyone who reminded me to keep going when things felt heavy. To the class of 2026, we all have stories that people may never
024fully understand. Some struggles were visible while others stayed hidden behind smiles and everyday conversations. No matter what your journey looked like, you made it here, and that alone is something to be proud of. One thing that stayed with me this year was something my adviser, Miss Hines, always said, "No excuses, only choices." Over time, I realized how true those words were. Life will put obstacles in front of all of us. We cannot control everything that happens to us, but we can control how we respond, how we move forward, and the choices we make. If these past four years taught me anything, it is this. Strength is never about falling apart. Real strength is about finding a way every time life tries to knock you down. Losing my mom will always be a part of my
025story, but it does not define my ending. Instead, it reminds me to value every opportunity, work hard for the people I love, and appreciate how far I have come. As we move into the next chapter of our lives, there will be new challenges waiting for all of us. So, if we made it through these years through pressure, loss, burnout, uncertainty, and growth, then we are capable of far more than we realize. Thank you again to my teachers, my counselors, career coaches, senior class sponsors, families, classmates, and everyone who helped us reach this moment. We earned this no matter where life takes us. Stay resilient, stay focused, and don't forget to eat more July Celestei. Congratulations to class of 2026. We made it. Superintendent cameras, honorable members of the school board, platform guest, parents, caregivers, and
026to all who are assembled here this morning. We are at that portion in the program that we have been patiently waiting for. I dare not stand in between issuing the diplomas to the class of 2026. But I must have a moment to express my sincere appreciation to the parents and guardians of the class of 2026. Would you please stand? Parents and guardians. On behalf of the administration and staff of Richmond High School for the Arts, we thank you for allowing us this opportunity to impart knowledge to your child. We thank you for entrusting us with your child and allowing our staff to provide these young people with the appropriate skills needed to be successful. Class of 2026, please join me in thanking your parents and loved ones for the love, support, words of encouragement, and
027the financial blessings they have given you over the past 13 years. [applause] Class of 2026, always remember that you are loved and we look forward to hearing the great things you are doing and will accomplish. Superintendent cameras. Having met the high standards of scholarship and character required by the Richmond public school system and the Commonwealth of Virginia, I am proud to present the class of 2026 of Richmond High School for the Arts.
