Class of 2026,
As we approach graduation, I simply want to take a moment to tell you how proud we are of each of you and all that you have accomplished during your time at Ray Braswell High School.
This senior class has helped define the Bengal Brand in so many ways. Through your leadership, resilience, school spirit, service, and determination, you have shown what it means to truly Live an Identity of Excellence.
You have navigated challenges, celebrated successes, created memories, and built relationships that will last a lifetime. More importantly, you have grown into young adults who are prepared to take on the next chapter of life with confidence and purpose.
As you prepare to leave Braswell, remember that excellence is not a destination…..it is a mindset. It is found in the way you treat others, the way you respond to adversity, the work ethic you bring every day, and the choices you make when no one is watching.
No matter where life takes you after graduation, never underestimate the impact you can have on the people and communities around you. Continue to lead, continue to grow, and continue to represent the Bengal Brand.with pride.
Thank you for the legacy you are leaving behind at Braswell. You have made our campus better, stronger, and more connected because of who you are and what you have contributed to this community.
We are excited to celebrate you in the coming days and cannot wait to see all that you accomplish in the future.
Finish strong, enjoy these final moments together, and know that you will always be part of the Bengal family and always showcase Bengal Excellence!
Continue Living YOUR Identify of Excellence.
With Bengal Pride,
DeCorian Hailey
Principal
Braswell High School
