Congratulations to the Class of 2026! 🎓

182 students across iiyiyiu aschii reached an important milestone this year by graduating from Secondary 5 or the Work-Oriented Training Path (WOTP).

As graduation ceremonies continue across our communities, we are proud to celebrate every member of this year’s graduating class — those who have already crossed the stage and those whose celebrations are still to come.

Each of these 182 graduates has followed their own path to get here, shaped by hard work, perseverance, growth, and the support of families, friends, teachers, school staff, and community members along the way.

To the Class of 2026: take pride in everything you have accomplished and in the work it took to reach this moment. Wherever your next chapter takes you, we hope you carry forward the knowledge, experiences, relationships, and confidence you have built along the way.

Congratulations, Class of 2026. We are proud to celebrate all 182 of you. 🧡🎓
