What an amazing sight today!
Our graduating seniors returned to Minshew this morning, and it was such a special moment. They walked the halls with smiles, visited old friends and teachers, and shared fond memories of their elementary days.
The highlight? Hearing them recite the Minshew Chant and the Minshew Agreements - proof once a Colt, always a Colt!
We’re so proud of these students and excited for their future!
