Dear Friends,

It’s graduation season, and we’re bursting with excitement to share some incredible news about the Peninsula Bridge High School Class of 2024: Our 56 seniors have donned their caps and gowns and received their diplomas, and every single one of them is college-bound this fall! They were accepted to more than 100 colleges and universities, and they are enrolled at schools as wonderful and diverse as they are. Picture this: First generation Peninsula Bridge scholars calling the campuses of UC Berkeley, Bryn Mawr, Gonzaga, Lehigh, UCLA, University of Redlands, Union College, San Francisco State and USC (just to name a few!) their new college homes. We couldn’t be more proud of them!

Throughout their high school journey, our scholars have seized every opportunity to learn, to grow and to serve. They have excelled in rigorous AP and IB classes, captained varsity and club sports teams, held leadership roles in affinity groups, service clubs, and competitive academic teams, and performed on stage. They have founded service organizations, volunteered across their communities, gained invaluable experience through professional summer internships and explored academic interests through international and extended summer learning opportunities. And they did all of this while managing part-time jobs and taking care of significant family responsibilities. They are superheroes, and we are in awe of them! 

Meet just a few of the high school Class of 2024 rockstars:

Thank you for believing in our mission and in the potential of these incredible students, and for investing in their futures. Together, we have made a lasting impact on their lives, and together we celebrate all that lies ahead!

With gratitude and joy,

Randi Shafton
Chief Executive Officer
