Friendship PCS Class of 2020

A Message to Seniors from CEO Brantley

Dear Graduates,

Seniors, congratulations on earning this moment.

There is perhaps no greater choice – in this chapter of your life –  than to become a college graduate.

By declaring your college or university of choice, you immediately broaden the opportunities you will experience…the people you will meet…and the places around the globe you will go.

Going to and through college is all about YOU. It’s about you making good choices and preparing yourself for an exceptional, purpose-filled life. It’s about you investing in yourself, believing in yourself and taking a risk.

Your college acceptance is your passport and first-class ticket to the amazing discoveries life has to offer.

I’m so proud that each of you gained your foundation at Friendship. I am proud to call you Friendship family.

From the moment you joined our school community, we knew you were destined for greatness.

We believe in your potential and every step of the way, your Friendship Family has done everything possible to ensure you are ready for the rigors and rewards of college life.  And we will continue to be here for you, always.

I ask that you think about our Friendship values.

  • Confidence
  • Commitment
  • Responsibility
  • Integrity
  • Caring
  • Respect
  • Persistence

Carry these values with you. Hold them deep in your heart. Lean on them when college life gets tough… And it will get tough.

But know this.

If you continue to live out our core values and always THINK and DREAM BIG, you will overcome any obstacle.

Discover and grow your natural talents.

Give back to your community.

And soar in your unique purpose. 

Look at yourself and know with absolute certainty, you can achieve anything you desire!

The Class of 2020 is unlike any other graduating class in recent history.

Your Signing Day and Commencement experience is shaped by a global crisis that has fundamentally changed how we connect with each other.

That’s why this year, we are celebrating the Class 2020 virtually to ensure that every graduate and their families – that YOU — are applauded for your achievements, while you remain safe and healthy.  

We won’t let this pandemic stop how we celebrate our graduates. And you know Friendship – we always go big!

So, let’s get ready to laugh and smile, cheer and dance for joy as we salute our 2020 seniors who will declare where they will take their talents for the next four years.

You deserve all the applause we can give!

Thank you for joining our celebration. And thank you for believing in Friendship Public Charter School like we believe in you!

Congratulations Class of 2020!

Patricia Brantley, CEO

Looking Back. Looking Ahead.
