🎓 Senior Spotlight 🎓 💙🪶🩵 LYNDEY BROWN is Indian River High School’s 2025 Valedictorian. She will attend the College of William & Mary as a Monroe Scholar. She will major in Biology on the Pre-Med Track. ------------------------------------ What is the best class you took in high school and why? The best class I took in high school was public speaking. It prepared me beyond taking a test. It taught me social skills that I will carry with me forever. ------------------------------------ If you could give a shout out to a member of the faculty or staff at a Chesapeake Public School, who would it be and what would you say? Dr.Shabazz has made a huge impact in my educational growth. He is someone that gives good advice mentally, physically, and educationally. #Classof2025! 🎓 #CPSCelebrates

🎓 Senior Spotlight 🎓 💙🪶🩵 RYLAN WILLIAMS is Indian River High School's 2025 Salutatorian. #Classof2025 🎓 #CPSCelebrates

🎓 Senior Spotlight 🎓 💙🪶🩵 OLIVIA OCASIO is the SCA President at Indian River High School. She will attend Old Dominion University to study biology. ------------------------------------ Please share your best advice for the rising senior class. Stay on top of your work. Falling behind only makes things harder, so keep up with assignments, manage your time, and don’t wait until the last minute. It pays off. ------------------------------------ If you could give a shout out to a member of the faculty or staff at a Chesapeake Public School, who would it be and what would you say? I’d like to give a shoutout to Mr. Fedorowicz for preparing me for the future. His class pushed me to think critically, stay disciplined, and take responsibility for my work. What I learned from him will stick with me well beyond high school. #Classof2025! 🎓 #CPSCelebrates
