Banyan is proud to celebrate the accomplishments of our seven DeLaSalle High School graduates and their families. The last four years have been filled with hard work, many tutoring hours, and the generous support of our Higher Ground Sponsors.

The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you –B.B. King

As a special keepsake, Banyan hosts a professional family photo shoot for each graduate and their family. This is an opportunity for generations of family members to come together and capture a moment in time that will be cherished for years to come. Mothers kissed their daughters, sisters hoisted sisters, and fathers embraced their sons.

We were excited to see the smiles on everyone’s faces as they gathered in front of the camera and created memories that will last a lifetime. This photo shoot not only provided graduation memento photos but also gave opportunity for professional head shots and special family photos.

At Banyan we are grateful to be a part of this experience and take pride in providing families with this unique opportunity to capture these special moments creating lasting keepsakes.

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. — E.E. Cummings

Banyan Community is excited to see what the next eighteen years hold for these youth: engineering, nursing, advocacy, military, families of their own… The sky is the limit! As you transition into our Scholars program, we have a blessing to share with you: may you be strong enough to stand on your own two feet, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it. We are just a text away.
