This was one of those days that reminds us why Southern Heights is such a special place.
Today, we celebrated our 5th graders as they completed their final year at Southern Heights Elementary and prepared for the next chapter of their journey. We were honored to have families join us for this special occasion and would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our guest speaker, Jocelyn Gonzalez, a former Southern Heights student and the Class of 2026 Salutatorian. Her message served as a powerful reminder of what our students can accomplish through hard work, determination, and believing in themselves.
A special thank you goes to one of our generous Southern Heights families for providing the delicious meal that helped make the celebration even more memorable.
We would also like to thank our SPOT team, teachers, staff, photographer, and everyone who helped plan, organize, decorate, serve, and support today’s promotion ceremony. Your time, effort, and dedication helped create a meaningful day for our students and their families.
To the Class of 2026, congratulations. We are proud of the growth you have shown, the memories you have created, and the legacy you leave behind at Southern Heights.
We will miss you and wish you nothing but success as you begin this next chapter.

Este fue uno de esos días que nos recuerdan por qué Southern Heights es un lugar tan especial.
Hoy celebramos a nuestros estudiantes de 5.º grado al completar su último año en Southern Heights Elementary y prepararse para la próxima etapa de su camino académico. Tuvimos el honor de contar con la presencia de nuestras familias en esta ocasión tan especial y queremos agradecer sinceramente a nuestra oradora invitada, Jocelyn Gonzalez, exalumna de Southern Heights y Salutatorian de la Clase de 2026. Su mensaje fue un poderoso recordatorio de todo lo que nuestros estudiantes pueden lograr con esfuerzo, determinación y confianza en sí mismos.
Un agradecimiento especial a una de nuestras generosas familias de Southern Heights por proporcionar la deliciosa comida que ayudó a hacer esta celebración aún más memorable.
También queremos agradecer a nuestro equipo SPOT, maestros, personal, fotógrafo y a todas las personas que ayudaron a planificar, organizar, decorar, servir y apoyar esta ceremonia de promoción. Su tiempo, esfuerzo y dedicación ayudaron a crear un día significativo para nuestros estudiantes y sus familias.
A la Clase de 2026, ¡felicidades! Estamos orgullosos del crecimiento que han demostrado, de los recuerdos que han creado y del legado que dejan en Southern Heights.
Los vamos a extrañar y les deseamos mucho éxito mientras comienzan esta nueva etapa de sus vidas.
