Congratulations to Patricia Ann Montgomery Stewart, an executive secretary for the EBR Schools, who recently celebrated her high school graduation 50 years later with the Glen Oaks Magnet High School Class of 2025. Stewart, who was unable to graduate with her original class in 1975 due to personal reasons, seized the opportunity to cross the stage and finally achieve what her heart had long desired.
Her journey is a testament to perseverance, resilience and the belief that it’s never too late to accomplish your goals. Walking across the stage was more than just receiving a diploma — it was a moment of triumph, of faith fulfilled and a legacy of inspiration for all generations to come. Stewart has proven that dreams deferred are not dreams denied. She finished strong — boldly, beautifully and unapologetically.
