At a Dublin City (Regular School District) recognition, district staff honored 26 students who have decided to serve their country after graduation.

The recognition highlighted the students’ choice to enlist and the district’s goal of preparing “every student to be prepared for success.” A staff member said, “Thank you for being here today as we both celebrate and recognize these 26 outstanding students and their decision to serve our country. I can think of no greater calling than to serve others and it is in this spirit we recognize these students today. These soon to be graduates exemplify what we mean in the Dublin City Schools when we say we want every student to be prepared for success. They take responsibility, and they are ready to step up and take this next step as young adults. And we look forward to following them in their continued journeys.”

Another speaker thanked parents for their role in preparing the students, saying, “I just wanna give a shout out to all of you, all of you parents who have raised these children for what you've done because obviously they would not be up here today if you had not instilled the value.”

The remarks were delivered as part of a district recognition; no motions or formal board actions related to the recognition were recorded in the provided transcript.
