Today, Hacienda had the honor of welcoming back the Class of 2026 for the Senior Walk!

Our young Hawks lined the halls cheering them on with smiles, high fives, and lots of excitement as these former Hacienda students walked through campus one more time before graduation. There was even some crayfishing for old times’ sake!

One of the most special moments was seeing all the different cap and gown colors representing the many different high schools our former Hawks attended. Even though their paths may have taken them to different campuses, they’ll always share their Hacienda roots.

Congratulations, Class of 2026, your Hacienda family is so proud of you!

Calling all incoming Kindergarten and new Hacienda families! Join us for a fun summer playdate at Paul Moore Park to meet new friends, connect with other families, and start building your Hacienda community before the school year begins. We can’t wait to welcome our newest Hawks!
