Aspire Trade High School

Tomorrow, Aspire will celebrate a milestone years in the making—our inaugural graduation ceremony for the Class of 2026.

As we prepare to honor every graduate and all they have accomplished, we want to recognize two students who have earned the highest academic honors of the graduating class: our first-ever Valedictorian, Braxton Raymond Becker, and Salutatorian, Ana Marie Romero.

Their dedication, perseverance, and commitment to excellence have earned them a special place in Aspire history. As members of our inaugural graduating class, they have helped set the standard for future generations of Aspire students.

Tomorrow, we celebrate not only these achievements, but the entire Class of 2026—the trailblazers, leaders, and pioneers who took a chance on something new and helped build the foundation of our school. We are so proud of each and every one of you and can’t wait to see where your futures take you.

Congratulations, Class of 2026. The best is yet to come. 💙🎓

We had a great evening at our Trade Tour Night! It was incredible getting to meet so many future aspire students and families, and we cannot wait to welcome this next group in August.

This is the future — and we are proud to help shape it. ⚒️

Huge congratulations to Aspire’s first ever class of National Technical Honor Society members!

As a trade school, we are proud to celebrate students who are excelling not only in the classroom, but also in their hands-on training, leadership, professionalism, and career readiness. To qualify for NTHS, students must maintain a 3.0 GPA, earn recommendation letters, and demonstrate strong character, responsibility, and dedication to their trade.

We are especially proud to recognize our inaugural officer team:

President — Nigel Covington
Vice President — Juan Lopez
Secretary — Anitra Grant
Treasurer — Dallas Bumpus

These students are setting the standard for excellence and proving that hard work, skill, and determination can take you far. Congratulations to all of our inductees on this incredible achievement!

As we celebrate National Charter Schools Week, we are incredibly honored to see Aspire Trade High School recognized in this perspective piece by Dave Machado.

Thank you for highlighting the work being done to reimagine what public education can look like for students pursuing skilled trades and hands-on career pathways. Aspire is proud to be part of a growing movement of charter schools creating innovative opportunities for the next generation of workforce leaders.

We are grateful to be pioneering a new space in trade-focused charter education and even more grateful for the students, staff, families, and industry partners who make this mission possible every day.
