Our Luca graduated from high school yesterday, and we couldn’t be more proud.

As parents, you hope your kids find good people. Man, did he ever.

Archmere is full of great kids, and Luca was fortunate to be surrounded by so many of them. But he also found a core group of friends who did just about everything together. Ball games, beach trips, concerts, school events, late nights, weekends, and plenty in between that I’m certain I have no idea about! They’ve been a constant in each other’s lives, and it’s been a lot of fun to watch.

Lucky for us, great kids usually come with great families.

One of the unexpected gifts of these last four years has been getting to know so many wonderful parents from the Archmere Class of 2026. People we sat with in the stands, traveled with, celebrated with, and laughed with. Many of them have become genuine friends, and we’re grateful for every one of them.

We’re also incredibly thankful for the faculty and staff at Archmere. Over the years, many have become trusted friends as well. Their influence on Luca and his classmates is impossible to measure.

Yesterday, we got together for one more celebration along with our family!

Congratulations, Class of 2026.

What a run.

Here are some scenes from the day…
