Shining On: Celebrating LCS's 27th Graduating Class!

Louverture Cleary School Class of 2022!

Last Friday, the Louverture Cleary School community celebrated the graduation of its 27th graduating class!

The Class of 2022 stands out for having supported one another and the school community during some of the most challenging times in the school’s history.

In addition to proving their leadership to their younger classmates in tough times, these young men and women held on to what made them shine as individuals and as a class.

Their talent for music was often showcased at school assemblies, celebrations, and Masses. Their spiritual devotion was clear as they led the school in daily and seasonal prayer activities. Their dedication to sports was unmatched, many of them having been regulars on their elementary school soccer teams since they were old enough to try out.

As LCS Economics Department Head Djim G. (LCS ’14), who taught their Economics capstone class, reflects:

The word that comes to mind when thinking about this Philo (U.S. 12th grade + 1) class is ‘resilience.' These students have an incredible ability to recover from tough blows. They came across multiple difficulties on their way to graduation, but they always managed to keep their eyes on their goals while helping the youngest be at their best, as all great leaders would do.

We are so proud our graduates! We know that they are taking with them the values, skills, and hopes for a just and prosperous future for their country that they learned at LCS, and we look forward to seeing the great things they will do!


A Selection of Quotes from the Class of 2022

After graduation, I would like to study legal and political sciences in one of the best universities in Haiti to become a good diplomat so that I can represent my country around the world. For Haiti, I hope there will be political stability. I hope we become this country where people will live without worries…. I hope Haiti will be a country radiating worldwide, as it has been in [past] time.

—Emmanual M.

 

In the future, I want to become a good businesswoman and influence others. I want to show to all ladies that they can trust their dreams and work for them. No matter their economic situation, they can achieve their goals and become independent women financially.

—Marie Seth G.

 

The best lesson that I learned [at LCS] is to accept other people and cooperate with them while you are trying to be a great example. I will take this with me after graduation. I hope for the future of Haiti to see a lot of great change. I would like to have more educated people and more conscious people so that we change Haiti in years coming.

—Pierre Friedman J.

 


My hope for Haiti is to see that everyone can see the beauty that I see in the country: its beautiful places, possibilities and traditions. Then I want the country to explore its potential … the natural and human potential.

—Troy A.

 

My plans after my graduation are to go to university, keep working hard to succeed. I will keep sharing what I have learned at LCS to the people of my zone [neighborhood]. One of my hopes for the future of Haiti is to see a change in Haiti, and to be part of that change by starting to be what I would like to see in my country. As Gandhi said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” After…we will be able to put ourselves together and build a new Haiti.
—Gaïna D.

As always, YOU are the help we have to give.
