Scholar Graduations!
First Star scholars from across the nation are celebrating their high school graduations, and we couldn't be more proud of all their accomplishments! Here are some of those smiling faces from our First Star University of Miami Academy's class of 2023, captured by their Academy Director, Maria Pia De Castro.
