The California Military Institute is pleased to announce our graduation plans for the class of 2021! The ceremony was a traditional in-person ceremony, with modifications for safety purposes and in compliance with current public health guidelines. Graduation took place on Friday, June 4th at 9:00am at the Perris High School Stadium.

To comply with capacity limits currently in place for outdoor events, the ceremony was moved to the PHS Stadium. This allowed each graduate to invite a larger number of guests to attend in person. Additionally, to accommodate additional family and friends who were not able to attend in person, we are happy to share that the ceremony was live streamed by Godfather Films!

Safety measures that will be in place include attendee groups being limited to household units, each household sitting 6 feet apart. Attendees will be required to wear a face covering and maintain social distance from non-household members at all times. Public health also requires compliance with travel limitations and advisories.

Patriots,

2020 has been a year for developing innovative strategies to deliver remote instruction to students. Teachers, students and guardians alike have learned new methods of using technology. As we navigate through challenges associated with Distance Learning together, let me start by saying that I am encouraged by how we are collaborating as a team. Without exception, we approached the changes brought on by COVID-19 with a spirit of cooperation and flexibility. Our community recognizes that the instructional delivery modifications were put in place to safeguard our students and address academic achievement during unprecedented times.

Heritage High School has an extensive history of parent support and engagement. The administration and staff are committed to creating meaningful opportunities to enhance parental involvement and strengthen community bonds. One of the most important components of a positive and high-performing school environment is the partnership between home and school. There are many opportunities to volunteer and participate in committees. Also, there are workshops designed for guardians to support their students.

As we continue to function in a Distance Learning environment, I am excited and privileged to be a part of a team dedicated to providing opportunities that prepare our students for success.

Enthusiastically,
Mark Harrell

Dr. Milosavljevic Graduation Speech
Class of 2020

I was only 14 years old when my family and I crossed the Atlantic ocean and moved to Chicago back in 1989 from the Former Republic of Yugoslavia. My childhood was filled with joy as I swam and fished in the beautiful Adriatic Sea over summer and enjoyed skiing and sledding with family and friends over winter.

My father and mother wanted to take a year off and pursue higher education and for myself and my sister and brother to learn English. We were going to return home after the year was over. But shortly after landing in Chicago I watched on tv as tanks rolled through the streets of my hometown. My school was being used to shelter the
refugees and the wounded. Our family home in Croatia was bombed and looted. My world came crashing down in an instant much like yours did when our school closed on March 13.

Everything I had known, everything that was secure and familiar had changed in a blink of an eye. I had lost my friends, family and my home. For a moment I felt hopeless and helpless. But then, my father who is a paragon of courage, optimism and resilience stepped up to the stage and showed me how to move forward and succeed in life despite the obstacles.

I wish to share with you what my father taught me in hopes that it will help you deal with the situation you find yourself in today and show you that you can find success, meaning and happiness despite the obstacles set before you.

#1. Happiness: It doesn’t just happen. You must intentionally engage in behaviors that promote the experience of joy, commitment, positive wellbeing and the sense that your life is good and worthwhile. For me that means playing basketball or soccer or tennis, playing my trumpet or guitar, swimming, playing hide and seek with my kids, going hiking to experience nature, reading or sneaking out to go rock climbing so my wife does not find out cos I would be in a lot of trouble if she did. What activities give you joy? Be intentional about doing things that make you happy.

#2. Focus on developing a growth mind-set which is the belief that you can use your God given qualities and talents to learn or master any new skill or science if you put the time and effort in to it, and that includes fractions by the way. It is this mindset that propelled me to become a Chemistry Teacher and then Principal and to finish my Ph.D this year. What do you want to accomplish? Whatever it is, you have it in you to do it, but first you must believe and then you must get to work! Your step one is to sign up for college classes in the fall or sign up with a branch of the military or get going with starting that business you always wanted to start. Don’t delay and don’t procrastinate. Yes you can and yes you will!

#3. Nurture positive relationships with others. During the difficult years of learning a new
language and finding work in a foreign country my family and I learned to rely on each other but also created new supporting friendships. These friendships created a support system for us that helped us make it through some very difficult times. So celebrate with your friends, meet often even if its over facetime or zoom or google hang out but definitely hang out and enjoy your time together. Some of you have been together since fifth grade (our legacy students) and you are a family now so stay together and love one another. However, you also must be open and make space for new friendships and new relationships. Seek friendships that will be positive, seek people who can teach you something good and help you be your better self.

Class of 2020, you know how important it is to never stop learning so allow me to conclude with two amazing facts. First of all your class of 2020 is the largest Senior Class in the history of CMI with 116 Seniors Graduating! You are already making your mark on history. Second, today is June 5th the day of your graduation. On June 5th 1752 Benjamin Franklin flew a kite for the first time to demonstrate that lightning was a form of electricity. Today on June 5th we are setting you free to demonstrate that you the Class of 2020 will electrify the whole world with your Happiness, Growth- Mindset and Power of your Positive Relationships.

Class of 2020, I charge you one last time with these words I shared with you during our morning formations: Never forget that We love you, You are Safe now go and do something Great! Go Rough Riders!
