Hopeworks is proud to announce that Shahid Cavallini has earned his high school diploma!
Shahid’s path to this diploma was not an easy one. Shahid left public school in the 9th grade. He came to Hopeworks on the advice of his mother. Even though he faced tremendous social anxiety, Shahid was able to make the small ABS class sizes work for him. Throughout his entire journey to this monumental accomplishment, Shahid has always been patient, polite, and determined to get his diploma.
In every class, Shahid always gave 100% effort. He stayed the course, earned his diploma, and is now looking into becoming a Townsend scholar and moving onto college.
Congrats, Shahid!
