Message from Dr. Khoshaba


Dear SoCo Families,

As we close another vibrant and successful school year, I want to take a moment to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your unwavering support and commitment to our Stallion community. This year has been filled with remarkable achievements, inspiring growth, and unforgettable memories, all made possible by the collaboration and spirit of our dedicated students, staff, and families.

From the excitement of our sports teams' victories to the creativity displayed in our arts programs, from the academic milestones achieved to the captivating music concerts and theater performances, our school has thrived on the enthusiasm and hard work of every member of our community. We have watched our students grow not only in knowledge but also in character, resilience, and compassion. Their achievements, both big and small, are a testament to the incredible support system we have here at SoCo.

And, of course, I want to reflect for a moment about our 2024 graduating class and their graduation ceremony. I am incredibly proud of our 2024 graduating class for their remarkable achievements and the inspiring graduation ceremony we shared. These students have grown into resilient, capable young adults, ready to gallop into the future with confidence and determination. Like strong stallions, they are now prepared to run free and navigate the vast fields of life beyond high school, equipped with the knowledge and skills to forge their own paths.

As we transition into the summer months, I hope each of you finds time to relax, rejuvenate, and enjoy the company of loved ones. Summer is a perfect opportunity to reflect on the past year’s accomplishments, set new goals, and recharge for the exciting adventures that await us in the coming school year.

Looking ahead, I am thrilled to share that the upcoming school year promises to be just as dynamic and inspiring. We have a host of new programs, events, and initiatives planned that will continue to foster a love of learning, creativity, and community spirit in our students. Our dedicated teachers and staff are already preparing to welcome students back in August with open arms and innovative ideas that will make the 2024-2025 school year our best yet.

Please keep an eye out for important updates and information that will be shared throughout the summer. Our school office will be open on select days to assist with any questions or needs you may have.

Thank you once again for your partnership and support. I am immensely proud to be part of such a spirited and caring school community. Wishing you all a safe, enjoyable, and restful summer. I look forward to seeing everyone back on campus in August, ready to embark on another fantastic year at South County High School!

Best regards,

Kambar
