On August 28, 2026, the Milne Auditorium came alive as the Senior Class of 2027 gathered for their Senior Presentation, a pivotal milestone marking the home stretch of their high school journey. To mark this special occasion, EIS welcomed back alumna Siriruk Saengchanchai (Class of 2010), who delivered a powerful and personal charge to 81 attentive seniors to pursue their dreams and turn passion into reality.
Drawing from her own path to success as a trilingual host, Ms. Saengchanchai shared five
timeless principles for navigating the future:
Life leaves clues
Bend forward into growth
Take on challenges bigger than yourself
Stay open and available for opportunities
Strive for excellence in everything you do
“Make time for your passion because opportunities do not come through closed doors,” she reminded the seniors. “Your dream career is something you slowly build. Believe that you are allowed to pursue it.”
Her insights resonated deeply with the spirit of the Class of 2027, bridging their class aim, “Wandering far and looking back with warmth,” with their motto, “Tempered by adversity, refined by experience.”
The Senior Presentation serves as a formal capstone milestone toward graduation. More than just a final requirement, it offers our seniors a meaningful space to reflect on their personal growth, articulate their aspirations, and step confidently toward higher education and beyond.
