The thought of returning to high school to receive my diploma caused immense discomfort. Upon attending Pattison High School all the fear and discomfort I felt turned into ambition. Through Pattison’s great teachers, small class setting, and compact semester system I was able to develop a passion and need for learning and art. Pattison provided the perfect environment for focused learning and preparation for postgraduate studies. Thank you for all the encouragement in my graduation year, and for helping me realize my potential.
