“Each year, I look forward to joining families and staff to cheer on our graduates as they prepare for their next journey in life,” he explained. ”We are proud that 82% of Rocklin Unified graduates choose to attend college within 12 months of graduation. I am grateful for the leadership of the Board of Trustees for setting the high educational standards and the dedication of our teachers that work tirelessly each school year to find new ways to connect with every student.”
