YSC Academy held its third graduation ceremony on Friday, celebrating its largest graduating class since opening in 2013.
"When I hear about their experiences, what resonates to me is the most important thing are the coaches, the teachers, or the other students," Head of Students Nooah Ahmed-Lee was quoted saying in a news release. "The relationships are the cornerstones and they are central and meaningful."
In addition to being the school’s largest graduating class, the 19 graduates were also the first to go through all four years of high school.
First-team players and technical staff from the Philadelphia Union were in attendance at the ceremony.
