Graduation

Grandson, Jack Balint-Kurti, graduated from Raleigh Charter High School on Saturday morning.  Jennifer drove us to the graduation held outdoors at the school.  We sat in the shade, in perfect weather listening to a string quartet before the ceremony.  Even though the senior class is small (about 100), graduation was held in three separate ceremonies to keep the crowd small.  About one-half of the audience wore masks.

Jack graduated summa cun laude, never having less than an A in any high school course, earning him a National Merit Scholarship.  The three previous years, Jack was a star on the school’s soccer team, but he missed playing his senior year as Raleigh Charter did not field a team because of COVID-19.

He did not attend classes this year except for part-time during the last two months, but he applied himself to virtual learning and never missed a beat.

Jack has been accepted by Duke University to study science/engineering next year.

Jack, you are a fine young man.  We are proud of you.

Seasoned Man
