(From Findlay City Schools)

Findlay City Schools staff members were captivated by our 2025 Convocation Guest Speaker, Findlay High School Senior, Rayanna Cap.

Rayanna is a trailblazing leader within this district, and has been impacting classmates and teachers alike for her entire FCS career.

Today, she moved the entire room with her words, describing the impact that teachers, bus drivers, nurses–and everyone who makes up a school district–have had on her. Some of the people in these pictures were among those that she spoke of today.

Some of Rayanna’s most powerful words?

“Findlay City Schools is where I learned, where I grew, and where I became someone who believes in herself—because others did first.”

“The thing is, being believed in? It changes everything. And every adult in this district…whether they know it or not, makes that kind of impact every single day.”

And an important reminder for all of our staff members:

“You might not always see it. You might not always feel it. But we do. We see the effort. We see the kindness. We feel the belief you have in us, even when we’re struggling to believe in ourselves. To you, it might feel small. But to us, it means everything.”

Rayanna, you are a shining star in this district, and you will carry that light into the world from here forward. We are so lucky to call you ours.
