Both the valedictory and salutatory addresses at Jackson Academy’s graduation ceremony on May 15 focused on themes of overcoming obstacles in the future. Valedictorian Sophie Henderson, who plans to attend New York University, spoke to her classmates about facing challenges and finding solutions when the path forward seems unclear. Salutatorian Aniya Bradley, who will be attending Spelman College, gave the opening remarks, emphasizing that the faculty had prepared the Class of 2025 with valuable lessons on treating others, leadership, critical thinking, as well as resilience and grace in the face of trials.
When Jackson Academy senior Emma Ray was in sixth grade, she volunteered to lead a Bible study for her classmates. That moment initiated five additional years of overseeing Bible study for sixth-grade girls.
