Each graduating class leaves a distinct legacy to Westbury Christian and has played a special role in their time at the school. The Class of 2024 is no exception; their impact and influence will last for years. Let’s take a closer look at some of their defining traits and moments:
- The Class of 2024 left a lasting legacy at Westbury Christian. Of the graduating seniors, two students – Keiwan and Luke – have been at WCS since preschool, and Cooper spent most of his school career at WCS.
- The Class of 2024 will be making an impact across the country next fall as they head to college. From Savannah College of Art and Design (Levi) to Santa Clara (Richard), studying degrees from Computer Science to Early Childhood Education, Engineering, and Business. This year’s top collegiate destinations have been the University of Houston and Texas State University.
- The Class of 2024 has had service in their heart for years. In high school, they’ve collectively recorded over 1,400 hours of community service across a variety of different organizations and projects. Levi recorded an impressive 309 hours of service during his time at Westbury Christian. But this group has been serving the community together since middle school, frequently working in local ministries and other community organizations. There is no doubt hundreds of unrecorded hours that have been spent serving across our community.
- Over the past several years, the Class of 2024 has benefited from learning from other perspectives to enrich their understanding of the world. This includes classmates from other countries, including China (Yasmine and Felis) and Vietnam (Quan), who have learned alongside their American peers for the past four years.
- The Class of 2024 left a lasting legacy for Wildcat athletics. Three male athletes have signed their national letter of intent to play collegiate sports. Troy will play basketball at William Penn, Sebastian will play basketball at North Dakota State College of Science, and Cooper will play basketball at Hope College. Troy, Cooper, and Sebastian led the boy’s basketball program to multiple state tournament appearances and Final Four finishes. Carter, Rodrigo, and Vince led the way in a groundbreaking soccer season. Vince was also a pivotal player for the football team and baseball team. Gabi also explored her athletic interests in soccer, track, and cheer. Lauren left a lasting legacy on the track and field team by recording a new school record in the 100m (12.81).
- The Class of 2024 has been involved in a wide range of leadership roles and activities on campus. Keiwan, Richard, and Levi starred in Freaky Friday this spring with Jada and Keiwan serving in theater tech. Quan developed her leadership skills with the yearbook staff, serving as Editor this past year. Yasmine also delighted spectators with her artistic abilities. Luke and Felis were an integral part of the VEX Robotics team throughout their time at WCS and Chikere impacted Interact Club and found his passion in leading service opportunities for others.
- Perhaps most importantly, the Class of 2024 has grown closer over the years. They’ve overcome tragedies and challenges and shared exciting accomplishments and joys.
We will certainly miss the Class of 2024, but we know they will continue to grow as they depart WCS. We look forward to hearing how they make a Kingdom Impact in the future. Congratulations to all the members of the Class of 2024!
