Defending and completing his grauation

Each of the students who demonstrated readiness to graduate - a new program in Adair public schools this year - gave educators and members of the community their best presentations before the school year ended. This is one example who gave both a verbal and written introduction.

By Kai'Den Roach, ACHS graduate 2026

I am writing this letter to express my preparedness to graduate from high school, whilst highlighting my growth, and the skills that I have attained, and that have brought me to this point in my life. I am currently preparing for graduating high school, fiber optic cable training, and work. Completing high school has been challenging and has brought a major opportunity to my life.


I have the skills necessary to move forward, go to college online, and become a fiber optic cable technician.

As a learner, student and person, I'm very athletic, open-minded, and hardworking. I typically respond to difficult situations in a calm, thoughtful manner, and refuse to resort to harmful reactions. In high school developed social and physical skills from both english, and gym classes. Working with other people throughout my time in high-school has shaped me to be a very-open-minded person. Being a life-guard, and a junior coach for 4-H has truly shaped who I am as a person.

I believe I deserve to graduate because I've shown consistent resolve, intelligence throughout high school, along with the things I have done for my community. I've also demonstrated commitment to my education by my selection of specific classes that is tailored to be able to get into future careers. I've learned time-management, writing, social and economic skills during my time as a high-school student.

These skills will help me in my fiber optic cable career and future college enrollment.

I'm most proud of going to the 4-H shooting sports state competition. I've grown from an awkward young teenager, to a confident young man. I am most excited to graduate from high school. I hope I can contribute to my community and future career by doing my best in fiber optic cables.

Sincerely,
KaiDen Roach
