Seniors were welcomed with cheers, high-fives, and smiles from current students celebrating their upcoming graduation. For some seniors, the day was especially meaningful as they reunited with younger siblings currently attending their former schools. A few even celebrated the occasion with a piggyback ride through the hallways.
These visits provided a wonderful opportunity to reflect on how far our seniors have come and to inspire our youngest learners as they continue their own educational journeys. Congratulations to the Class of 2026!









Thank you to all our volunteers and donors for making this day for our 12th graders!
Happy Last Week of School, Seniors!!
