Yesterday, community partners, alumni, families, and supporters joined us at J. Paul Truluck Creative Arts and Science Magnet School to celebrate our seniors during Senior Awards Day. 🎓✨

Students were recognized for their outstanding achievements, received their graduation cords, and were acknowledged as college and/or career ready. We also celebrated our completers for their hard work and dedication throughout their academic journey.

Congratulations to all of our seniors.
Your future is bright, and we are proud of all you have accomplished!

When the challenge said “create a chant,” our staff understood the assignment! Here’s JPT’s official Amazing Race chant — full of school spirit, questionable rhythm choices, and way too much enthusiasm. We regret nothing. 💪 🐾
