Last week, the classes of 2026 for Malcolm Shabazz City High School, Capital High School, and Innovative High School crossed the stage at the Mitby Theater and boldly took a step towards a new stage in life.

During three unique ceremonies involving touching performances and powerful words from students, faculty, and guest speakers, we honored the growth, connections, and accomplishments of the graduating class, closing one chapter in their lives and proudly flipping the page to the next.

Congratulations, Shabazz, Innovative, and Capital Graduates! Your perseverance and commitment towards growing and succeeding in this challenging stage of life is something to be proud of. We can’t wait to see what’s next for you!
