Being first does not faze Sendy Gomez.
Part of Tulsa Honor Academy’s inaugural cohort of fifth-graders in fall 2015, Gomez will be among the charter school’s first graduates come Tuesday.
“I’ve really enjoyed my eight years here, but I am so excited to get to go to college,” Gomez said.
As part of that inaugural cohort, Gomez and several other seniors bounced among seven facilities over the course of eight years with Tulsa Honor Academy.
In addition to creating traditions for future generations, she and her classmates got to help leave a more tangible imprint by selecting the design for the high school’s entrance in the remodeled former Pennwell building at 15th Street and Sheridan Road.
However, even with all the moves, Tulsa Honor Academy has felt like home for Gomez.
