Superintendent Hearne stated: “I am excited for the impact these graduates will have on the world as they embark on the next stage of their lives. This class is made up of graduates who have personal goals that will stretch them. I am confident that the support from their parents and family combined with their individual gifts and talents plus their “no quit” attitudes will serve them well in the future. They have met every challenge with the commitment necessary and are now ready academically and spiritually for their next challenge. The entire Redwood Christian Schools community is very proud of each one of them for whom they are now, and excited for their future wherever their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ leads them.”
