The Wooden Floor

This week we celebrate our graduating Class of 2026 – our 22nd consecutive graduating
class where 100 percent of our seniors graduate high school on-time and enroll in higher
education! Over the next couple of days, we will feature our students’ college and university decisions, while sharing some standout stories. Graduating senior Kuanari shared the life skills The Wooden Floor instilled in her throughout her 10-year journey. “At The Wooden Floor I learned discipline, responsibility, and how to believe in myself. The Wooden Floor is my second home, it’s where I can always be myself. It helped shape who I am today.”

We are so proud of our seniors as they take their next step into higher education!
