As principal at TMP-Marian, I am privileged to see many of our area's best and brightest grow and mature. I couldn't be prouder of the students in the class of 2025 and their teachers and parents.
These students have challenged themselves with academic rigor when they could have sought easier paths. As the image with this post shows, to succeed in a rigorous academic situation you have to be willing to put in effort. You also need teachers and families who can motivate students to do hard things.
Look at some of these eye popping statistics and achievements for the current senior class (and yes, many classes before them have achieved similar results).
-55% of the class has a 96% or better GPA, equivalent to a 4.0 on a 4-point scale
-The 19th ranked student in the class has a 95.3% (3.9) GPA
-15% of the class earned some level of a Dane G. Hansen scholarship
-One senior, Grace Schmeidler, is a Rudd Foundation Scholar
More accomplishments are to come! Thank you seniors, teachers, and parents for sharing your time and talents with the school over the years. Finish strong and see you at Graduation in May!
