The Sixth MHS Graduate

Today, James became the sixth Evans to graduate from Maranatha High School. James was born while I was at MHS and 19 years later, he graduated from there. Our family has had someone in attendance almost every year for the last 21 years and our parents have sacrificed well over $125,000 to see their children receive a great education.

Becca, Matt, Rachel and I attended MHS when it was at the old elementary school in Sierra Madre, Andrew attended at the lame transition campus and James attended on the awesome college-like campus in Pasadena. The new campus served him well. He followed in Becca's footsteps by becoming a chaplain and in all other ways he outshined us. He ran cross-country, played soccer and Mens Volleyball. He participated in the school play, took a social conscience trip to Europe and organized many events. He is also the only one of us who had to do Capstone. Today he welcomed everyone to the graduation and was responsible for the invocation-he did a great job. By the way, he had a high school GPA of 4.089.

Congratulations, James. You Rock!!!! And Mom and Dad, You Rock too-thanks!!!!!
