The Mentoring and Partnership for Youth Development board of directors, mentors, and staff would like to congratulate the 13 young men of the MPYD 2013 graduating class. These young men have worked harder than they’ve ever worked before, And as one member who will attend UC Irvine quietly stated, “It was all worth it,” looking down at his collection of medallions and sashes. The John Muir High school graduation ceremony took place on Friday June 7, at 1 PM at the Pasadena Civic Center. The graduating class all wore ear-to-ear smiles as they celebrated the ending of one incredible journey and embraced the beginning a new one.
