Spring ISD Celebrates Hope, Determination of Class of 2023 in Graduation Ceremonies at Planet Ford Stadium

June 05 2023

Thousands of Spring ISD parents and family members gathered at the district’s Planet Ford Stadium June 1-3 to cheer on the more than 2,000 graduates of the district’s six high schools – Spring Early College Academy, Dekaney High School, Carl Wunsche Sr. High School, Westfield High School, Spring High School, and Spring ISD’s newest secondary school of choice, Momentum High School.

Graced with mostly sunny skies and the warmth of early summer, the ceremonies brought together graduates, their teachers and other campus staff, as well as family and friends all wishing the best to the members of the Class of 2023, who were freshmen in high school at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic but rose to the challenge to cross the stage during this weekend’s ceremonies.

Superintendent Dr. Lupita Hinojosa told the assembled graduates and their families what an honor it was for her and other district staff, teachers and administrators to be with graduates celebrating such a momentous occasion and such an important turning point in their lives.

“This is the culmination of 12 years of hard work and dedication, and I am so proud of each and every single one of you,” Hinojosa said. “I don’t have to tell you all that your time in high school has been a whirlwind, to say the least. You’ve worked hard to get here – and, if I’m being honest, the hard work has only begun. But that’s what life is all about – dedication and perseverance to get you to your goals.”

Board of Trustees President Justine Durant also congratulated the graduates on their accomplishment, acknowledging the challenges of the past few years while also celebrating the successes of the Class of 2023.

“It is an honor to stand before you today as we celebrate the culmination of your high school journey,” Durant said. “As you reflect on the past four years, we can all agree that it has been a ride filled with ups and downs, but you made it through! You have all faced challenges and obstacles along the way, but you persevered.”

Representatives from the office of Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee also attended select ceremonies to present special certificates to valedictorians and salutatorians, and to congratulate members of the Class of 2023 on behalf of the congresswoman.
