Congratulations Class of 2021

Year after year, I watch our impressive graduates walk across the stage with proud, beaming smiles to receive the diplomas that you have justly earned. The opportunity to present these diplomas is a highlight of the year - for me, your teachers, your families, and the Board of Trustees of Friendship Public Charter School.

Even though that is not happening in person this year in the unsettling times that have affected the whole world, we celebrate this important moment in your life with the same pride, optimism, and joy.

You are graduating in a time of uncertainty. That means it is also a time of opportunity. Your next steps will require more of you – more effort, more creativity, and more leadership. But you will persevere because you have persevered and you will succeed because, as this special day acknowledges, you have succeeded!

The day will come some years in the future when you will say that you were part of the historic class of 2021. It will happen as part of the recognition as to how the world had to adjust to a pandemic, to tragedy, and to unrest. And you will be among those celebrated as the ones who launched a new era of peace and prosperity.

We celebrate you with congratulations for today and with confidence for the future. The road forward will not be easy but we are in a time of renewal. We want you to know how very much your lives matter to all of us.

Sincerely,

Donald L. Hense Founder and Chairman from the CEO

Be the Change We Seek

Friendship Tech Prep Graduates:

True greatness calls for courage and good judgment. Sometimes it seeks patience, sometimes speed. It always requires respect and deep determination.

The graduates you see before you today know something about greatness. Each one of them has earned his or her way to the podium, through no easy path but by learning, understanding and practicing the principles of greatness.

At Friendship, our graduates have had the opportunity to see the world through many lenses. They have been exposed to the extraordinary and the uncomfortable. They have learned to communicate, both by speaking up and by listening. They have built bridges they had never imagined and built bonds for life.

Always, they have had to work hard. And along the way, these young men and women have laid the foundations for a lifetime of learning and leadership.

Knowledge is power, never more so than in the hands of the bright, fearless, educated leaders who stand before you today.

Friendship has prepared these graduates not just for college but for all that lies beyond — careers of their choosing. Confidence to face challenges head-on. Contributions to their communities. Most of all, the passion, courage and capacity to chase their dreams.

And that is truly great.

Congratulations Tech Prep Academy 2021 graduates. We applaud YOU!

Patricia Brantley CEO from Mayor Muriel Bowser Congratulations Friendship Tech Prep Academy Class of 2021

May 28, 2021

As Mayor of Washington, DC, I am honored and pleased to join your family, friends, and neighbors in extending congratulations to the Friendship Tech Prep Academy Class of 2021!

Your academic experience will be marked by innovation, perseverance, and growth. Learning in a remote environment challenged you, your teachers, and your friends and family in remarkable ways. You have demonstrated that you cannot only face a challenge, but succeed. Know that life will test you, but you have the knowledge and skillset to triumph over obstacles, large and small.

Graduating in Washington, DC connects you to the world in a special way. The nation’s capital is right outside your window. Cherish your DC experience to strengthen your resolve, collect new skills, and become your best self.

Your future is yours to define. I encourage you to continue to work hard and stay focused on the future you imagine for yourself.

On behalf of the 712,000 residents of Washington, DC, I congratulate you on your accomplishment. May success follow you always.

Muriel Bowser Mayor, Washington, DC Principal’s Farewell

Dear Graduates, Parents, FPCS Board Members, esteemed Faculty and Staff, Honored Guests:

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the Friendship Technology Preparatory Academy 7th annual commencement exercise. On behalf of the faculty and staff of Friendship Technology Preparatory Academy, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Class of 2021 on your academic achievement. I would also like to offer a heartfelt thank you to the parents, family members, friends, and community partners joining us. Your graduate has come this far, in no small part, thanks to your thoughtful guidance, and your consistent support.

Class of 2021, over these final days of our journey together, I have reflected on your rich high school experience and the possibilities that lie ahead. Walking across this stage is a tremendous milestone – one you’ve earned through perseverance, especially being the first class to be virtual the entire school year. You have shown an abundance of natural talent and true grit. Never forget how far you’ve come, and take pride in your many accomplishments.

The demands of Friendship Technology Preparatory Academy scholars are heavy, and I hope this experience has given you a sense of intellectual accomplishment and personal growth. Your graduation this year is a testimony to your hard work, determination, and purposefulness. Despite the challenges inherent in completing rigorous course loads, complicated for some by personal difficulties, you remained steadfast in your desire to achieve your goals. Exercise prudence in all matters and you will benefit immensely.

Moreover, I am incredibly excited to see the next phase that life holds for you. I am also saddened to think that our daily interactions will soon come to an end. The Class of 2021 will always hold a very special place in my heart as this is the first graduating class I’ve known since 8th grade. I started the year by speaking about the importance of relationships in education and you forged relationships that will last you a lifetime. You have shown the world that you challenge boundaries, break down those challenges, and redefine them. You have shown the world that you can rise above boundaries, break down barriers and write your own story. Today is proof that you are individuals committed to your education, social change, and making your community a better place.

Today marks the commencement of a new chapter in your life, your book of life has chapters yet to be written. Friendship Technology Preparatory Academy has prepared you well, and now it is up to you to grasp new opportunities, define yourself, your place in the world, and make a difference to those who will look to you for leadership and support.

Please keep alive the great spirit of Friendship Technology Preparatory Academy and the unique experiences that you and other graduates have cherished so deeply. Wherever this journey takes you, you will always be a member of the Titan Family. Remember that you are a Friendship Tech Prep Titan despite the circumstances, we must remain Titan Tough. Tech Prep Titans model the core values of Responsibility, Care, Integrity, Persistence, Confidence, Respect, Commitment, and Patience. Remember we are a House Built by Grit and Driven by Innovation.

Our best wishes are with you today and into the future. Congratulations Class of 2021!
