Graduation is over and the Bright Futures Scholars have been graduated and joined the community, displaying the leadership skills gained from the Quality of Life Bright Futures Scholars Leadership Development Program.

As many of you know, on Sunday, June 12, 2011, before a crowd of over 1,000, the “Bright Future Scholars” Pasadena Unified School District academic achievers held their Graduation and Awards Luncheon at the Pasadena Convention Center.

Proud scholars from all 11 local middle and high schools participated in the celebration. Many shared moving speeches that showed their dedication not only to the program, but to their upcoming future.

Attending mentors who have been of unimaginable assistance and support included: Congressman Adam Schiff, Assembly Member Anthony Portantino, Mayor of Pasadena Bill Bogaard, Los Angeles County Sheriff Leroy Baca, Pasadena Chief of Police Phillip Sanchez, and Judge Philip Soto, to name a few.

The ceremony was graciously led by Dean of Scholars Dr. Sandra E. Thomas, assisted by Honorary Dean of Scholars Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich. The ceremony was brought to life by emotional reflections from graduating senior scholars. Fourteen of the one hundred and twenty-nine scholars moving on to college this fall were absolutely delighted to be awarded thousands of dollars in scholarships.

Staff now anxiously prepares for the fall – where two hundred and fifty new enrollees excitedly wait to enter the Bright Future Scholars Leadership Development Program.
