BY DENVER CATHOLIC STAFF G raduation season is here, which can only mean one thing: The effects of senioritis are start- ing to wear off, and the seniors in our Catholic high schools are likely full of exuberant joy. High school is an important phase in anybody's life. It's a crucial period in which we discover who we are, both as an individual and as a child of God. The Lord ignites our passions and guides us toward the path he intends for us. For the graduates of Bishop Mache- beuf, St. Mary's, Arrupe Jesuit, Regis Jesuit, Holy Family and Mullen High Schools, this is just the beginning. We're sure that God has big plans for each and every one of them and that they're all going to do great things. Congratulations, class of 2017! May God bless you in all of your future endeavors. ARRUPE JESUIT HIGH SCHOOL Graduation date: Friday, May 26 Scholarships awarded: $5,200,000 and growing Valedictorian: Sonia Chavez Mier Salutatorian: Marlene Rojo-Rocha The class of 2017 represents the best tradition of Arrupe Jesuit High School. This year's graduates excel in the classroom, they have been extraordinary contributors to the Work Study program, and they've been active in all aspects of community life at Arrupe. We pray for their continued success as they venture into the world beyond Arrupe." MICHAEL O'HAGAN Principal of Arrupe MULLEN HIGH SCHOOL Graduation date: Saturday, May 20 Scholarships awarded: Over $17 million Valedictorian: Kasha Akrami Salutatorian: Jovan Tafoya What was great about Mullen was the education I received beyond my classrooms. As a result of the Lasallian Core Principles, I saw a diversity of opinions, beliefs, and backgrounds that I was never exposed to before, and I developed a strong foundation that I know I, along with my classmates, will carry on into all things I do later in life." KASHA AKRAMI Valedictorian Number of graduates: 186 Number attending college: 178 Number of graduates: 72 Number attending college: 72 " " HOLY FAMILY HIGH SCHOOL Graduation date: Thursday, May 25 Scholarships awarded: Over $15 million Valedictorian: Sydney Alderfer Salutatorian: Christina Helgeson Holy Family will be sending 100% of the graduates of 2017 to college or the military, and three of our seniors will be accepting appointments at our nation's military academies. Intellectually, personally and spiritually, they are well-prepared for the next stage. They have given the school incredible leadership and we are honored to have them as alumni of our school."
