From cheer captain to Air Force Intelligence Analyst. From entrepreneur to homeschool mom. π
For Shanice Murphy (β10), the lessons she learned at Sac High extended far beyond the classroom. The high expectations, leadership opportunities, and unwavering support of teachers helped shape the discipline, resilience, and confidence that have guided every chapter of her journey.
Today, Shanice is a business owner, a member of the California Air National Guard, and a mother of threeβstill carrying the values she first developed as a Sac High scholar.
Her story is a powerful reminder that success isnβt a straight line. Itβs built one lesson, one challenge, and one act of courage at a time.
We couldnβt be more proud to call Shanice one of our alumni. Watching our graduates continue to lead, serve, and make a difference in their communities is one of the greatest rewards of our work.

βYou donβt need to be fearless. You need to be brave.β
That was the message our valedictorian, Armaan, shared with the Class of 2026 at graduationβand itβs one that extends far beyond commencement day.
Fear doesnβt disappear as we grow older. It simply changes shape. The challenges become different, the stakes become higher, and the path ahead becomes less certain. But courage has never been about having all the answers. Itβs about choosing to move forward anyway.
To every graduate who faced obstacles, overcame setbacks, and kept going even when the future felt uncertain: this moment belongs to you.
Congratulations to the Class of 2026. Your next chapter wonβt require perfection, but it will require the same bravery that brought you here. We canβt wait to see where it takes you. ππ
The tassels have been turned, the caps have flown, and the next chapter has officially begun. ππ
We celebrated an unforgettable milestone as the Class of 2026 crossed the stage and into their futures. Every diploma represents years of hard work, perseverance, growth, and the unwavering support of families, teachers, mentors, and an entire community that believes in whatβs possible.
