Mrs. Rita Kaprielian
Miss Arpik Ananian
Ms. Nazeli Shahinian
Ms. Seda Martirosian

Mr. Arshak Ghaloosian

It took God seven days to create the heavens and the earth; but he had to go further to complete his perfection: He created parents and teachers. Teachers are not special because of their knowledge, even though we agree their knowledge is valuable, teachers are special because they are surrogate parents.
So for all that you have done for us, on behalf of all the Chamlian students, I, Student Council President, want to thank you with the deepest gratitude, and may God bless you and your families the way you have been a blessing in ours"
