Totino-Grace High School

What was your favorite moment from graduation? We cannot decide between all the smiles and happy tears, pearls of wisdom from Billy Walsh, laughs from Mr. Litecky's speech, cheers from family members in the audience...the list goes on!

As the Class of 2026 joins the TG alumni family, we hope they have left these walls feeling prepared and inspired. We look forward to seeing who they become and hope they know that TG will always be a home away from home for them.

A special thanks to Michael Hamerlind for all the graduation photos as well!

For one last time, seniors had the chance to play their instruments and share their voices with us at graduation.

We hope that you continue to perform music throughout your life and come back and share it with us again!

Congratulations to TG teacher Kassie Murphy, who was accepted into a highly coveted program: The Research Experience for Teachers (RET) program through the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI), sponsored by the National Science Foundation.

The RET program gives teachers the opportunity to work directly with university research groups while developing standards-based curriculum connected to current scientific research. This summer, Kassie will be working with Professor Vinod Srinivasan and his research group in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Minnesota.

The project focuses on testing the performance of surfaces with different kinds of microfabricated roughness under pool boiling conditions. She will be working in the university’s nanotechnology lab alongside graduate students and researchers, helping fabricate and test these surfaces. Part of the program also involves creating classroom curriculum that incorporates these real-world engineering and nanotechnology applications into science instruction.

Kassie will also incorporate aspects of this research into TG's new Earth Science curriculum, particularly in units involving energy transfer, engineering design, and material interactions. Her goal is to create hands-on, real-world applications that help students connect classroom concepts to current scientific and engineering research.

We look forward to hearing about the exciting things she accomplishes over the summer!

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." –Jeremiah 29:11

Last night, Totino-Grace celebrated the Class of 2026.

It was a beautiful evening filled with laughter, gratitude, heartfelt reflection, and the unmistakable pride of the TG community. These students have left their mark on our school, and we could not be more proud of the Eagles they are.

Welcome to the alumni family, Class of 2026.



More photos to come.

Baccalaureate Mass is always one of our favorite nights of the year. On Wednesday evening, we joined together for one last Mass with the Class of 2026.

Thank you, Lord!
For the reaching of this end
And for this new beginning
For the joy in finished aims and goals
And the evidence of winning

Have mercy on these graduates
As they bask in their successes
Please guide them to their destinies
And show them love that blesses

We ask for You to lead each one
Through missteps they may suffer
On the road to gaining wisdom
Finding faith and hope that buffers

Please touch each heart with joy and peace
As Commencement gives promotion
And fill each life with love's increase
Of strength and deep devotion

For this eager class of graduates
Beribboned with degrees
Please bless them at this starting gate
With all the keys they'll need.

Thank you, Lord.

Meet your Class of 2026 Valedictorian, Salutatorian, Lasallian Man, and Lasallian Woman!

Valedictorian: Donny Lockwood
Salutatorian: Isabel Bucu

Lasallian Man: Dimarco Cognetta
Lasallian Woman: Purpose Price

Recipients of Lasallian awards have committed themselves to growth in the four key elements of our mission: learning, faith, community, and service. They are students who demonstrate a commitment to living the Gospel message of love and service to others, and act as role models to their peers. These recipients were nominated by their classmates and selected by the faculty and staff.
