Tyler is a High school and college graduate!

He did it! When you first send your child off to kindergarten, it is hard to see them go. They seem to be growing up so fast. Yet the road ahead seems so long and far away. Seeing your children graduate from high school is another hard time. It seems, looking back, that the road was way too short. Soon they are ready to leave home, and I never feel ready to let them go.

Tyler had the opportunity to go to a school called Success Academy. It met on the campus of the Dixie State University Campus in the morning for all his core classes, then in the afternoon he would go to Snow Canyon high school for his elective classes. When he finishes his three years, he also completes the requirements for his college associates degree. It is a really great opportunity. When he first started, (he chose this path on his own with no coercion from us) we were a little nervous about how rigorous it would be and if he would be missing out on high school experiences. It has been a great experience for him. And he did it! He struggled a little the first year, mostly with writing essays. But he did it and he did it with a 4.0 GPA!

These ;pictures are at his high school graduation. He didn't go to the commencement for the college because he was at the State Rugby championship game. He is a handsome kid!! We are very proud of him! And expect more great things from him in the future!!
