We at ILUMIN wanted to give our warmest congratulations to our seniors this past year! They poured so much time and effort into their academics, extracurriculars, and applications alike, and their hard work is clearly recognized not only by us, but also by all the schools who sent them offers of admission. Now, we send our best wishes for their success as they prepare for the first year of their college careers!
