Rylie’s high school graduation complete. Class of 2021 Skyridge High Falcons chapter is in the books.

Rylie excelled as a scholar. She earned the Falcon Scholar Award which was given to less than 10% of the graduates. Qualifications - 3.9 GPA, 3+ AP classes, extracurricular (thank you Spikeball Club), service to Skyridge community, and a high ACT score. 

She also pretty much runs Roxberry and has since her sophomore year. 

Graduation was at Rio Tinto Stadium where it took them 90 minutes to read the 712 names. Principal Perkins shared some good thoughts, “In mountain biking, if you focus on the obstacles, you will hit the obstacles. Focus on the space between the obstacles. Do the same in life - don’t focus on the obstacles.”

“You have the power to make other peoples lives better - use that power.”

Ironically, as Rylie wasn’t home much during high school, she wanted to spend grad night at home with family. It was wonderful. Also wonderful, Red Robin she chose for lunch after graduation - good food and good conversation
