When you walk across that stage, I hope you pause for a moment to give yourself credit for how far you've come. Not simply the academic lessons you've learned but the tough life lessons that have shaped who you are and who you will eventually become. You aren't the same person you were 4 years ago. You are a little wiser, stronger, and even more resilient then you realize right now. You are one step closer to changing this world for the better, simply by being you. Don't think that each step you make from here on out can't be the change because each step you've taken has changed you.
Congratulations to the 2026 W.S. Neal graduating class
Not to leave out an important event and milestone, this is the last graduation for Mr. Todd Williamson and he stood with each and every one of these kids that day and took his next steps in life too.
Todd,
Congratulations on your retirement! After so many years of dedication, hard work, countless memories, you have truly earned this time. I've seen you in many roles throughout the years and probably the one the stands out the most is the man that always shows up when these kids need it the most. You are the listening ear, the one who will call them on their crap and who will also be their safe harbor when they are feeling lost and for a lot of them you are their one. You have shaped lives and created memories that will stand the test of time. May your days ahead be filled with joy, laughter and all the things you dreamed of doing but never had the time to do. You've inspired many with the passion for the job and your kindness, your legacy will be remembered always.
