The Hodges family was blessed to travel from Sabanagrande, Honduras to Pensacola, Florida to attend Joseph’s graduation from high school which occurred on Saturday, May 14, 2016.
The commencement service, which was held on Saturday, May 14, at the Crowne Centre on the campus of Pensacola Christian College was amazing. There were 466 graduates from around the world who marched and received their diplomas. A total of 1,810 graduates from around the world will receive their diplomas from A Beka Academy this spring.
In a note to a friend, Joseph’s mom, Julie, said:
“I was very overwhelmed with joy and tears as I watched my son walk across the stage. He had his parents and both sisters there, his grandparents, 2 cousins, and 3 friends from college. The graduation message which was given by Mr. Mike Smith was very uplifting to all of us. I left very encouraged knowing my son is heading in the right direction.”
In addition to completing his senior year of high school, Joseph participated in the dual enrollment program which means he lived in a college dorm and took freshman classes as well. This summer Joseph is going to be in Las Vegas working with a church there before he returns to PCC in the fall to continue his college education.
Joseph with his sisters, cousins, and friends who all shared in the day with him!
