Atholton Adventist Academy

Last weekend, we proudly hosted the graduation exercises for the Senior Class of 2026 graduating on our campus from Griggs International Academy. As the final class to graduate at AAA in partnership with Griggs, this class marks the end of a season in our school's journey. Next year's seniors will receive AAA diplomas.

Celebration and praise for God's goodness was the theme of the weekend, from Senior Consecration on Friday evening, through the Sabbath Baccalaureate service, and into Sunday's Commencement exercises. We praise God for the ways He has led and guided each senior in their lives and educational journeys so far, and we pray rich blessings on each young person as they head into their futures, aiming as a class, "To have a successful journey through faith, regardless of the events in between." We have no doubts you will each, with God's blessing, enjoy a successful journey. Go with God!

🎓 Atholton Adventist Academy Class of 2026 🎓

Four years ago, you walked through those doors as students. Today, you walk out as graduates – and the world is better for it.

To the Class of 2026: you’ve grown in ways that go far beyond textbooks and test scores. You’ve shown resilience, faith, and a kind of character that can’t be taught in a classroom. You’ve carried each other through hard days, celebrated each other’s wins, and built friendships that will last a lifetime.

This chapter is closing, but the story is just beginning. Wherever God leads you next – to college halls, mission fields, careers, or corners of the world we haven’t imagined yet – go with courage, go with grace, and never forget the foundation that was laid here.

We are so incredibly proud of you. 🙏

Congratulations, Class of 2026. Your best days are ahead. ✨

As you close this chapter and step into high school, know that you carry with you the foundation, the friendships, and the faith to do incredible things. We are your biggest cheerleaders – now go make your mark! 🌟
