The superintendent of Alamo Heights ISD congratulated the Class of 2025 and urged graduates to "find your passion, discover your purpose, and positively impact the world around you" in an "On Location" segment celebrating the district's seniors.

The remarks framed a sequence of short student reflections on what they said made their time in Alamo Heights meaningful: small-school community, close relationships with teachers, broad extracurricular opportunities and a focus on learning rather than just test performance.

"My hope for each graduate is that you will find your passion, discover your purpose, and positively impact the world around you," the superintendent said. The superintendent also told students, "No matter where this journey takes you next, I want you to know that we are proud of you and that Alamo Heights ISD will always be your home. Once a mule, always a mule. Congratulations, Class of 2025. Mules up."

One student described the school as "A wonder world," and highlighted the district's small size and close-knit relationships: "The most I love about Allied is the community. Just how small it is and everyone knows each other and they have their back for everyone." The transcript identifies the speaker only as a student from the graduating class.

Another student recalled a kindergarten teacher by name: "My most memorable experience was probably the first day of kindergarten. I was absolutely terrified to walk in. ... But then I walked into class and my kindergarten teacher, Miss Moxie Ginwa, walked up to me and she said, Hi, Eleanor. And she knew my name and I was so excited," the student said, identifying the kindergarten memory as a formative moment.

Several students credited teachers with focusing on learning and preparing them for future study and life, not solely on test scores. "For all of our classes, our teachers are really big about, making sure we know our content and not just getting good grades. It's about the learning aspect, not the how well we do on a test," one student said.

Students also described extracurricular programs and teacher encouragement as avenues for growth. One said opportunities such as band and Science Olympiad came about because "a teacher told me that I could" and that encouragement led to experiences they would not otherwise have had.

The segment closed with students advising underclassmen to try in their classes and to maintain teacher relationships. "I would just say, always try in your classes and make an effort in any way you can," one student said. The superintendent's closing line, "Mules up," reiterated the district's mascot and school identity.

The segment presented reflections and congratulations rather than policy or administrative decisions; no motions, votes or formal actions were discussed in the recorded segment.
