Calvary Academy High School Graduation 2026 ✨🎓

As we close out another incredible school year, we were honored to celebrate the 45th graduating class of Calvary Academy.

Throughout the ceremony, we recognized outstanding academic, athletic, artistic, and leadership achievements that reflect years of hard work, perseverance, and dedication.

Congratulations to our Salutatorian, Ainsley Johnson, and our Valedictorian, Elesha Levine, for their exceptional academic accomplishments.

The Performing Arts Award was presented to Kaylee Dunning for her dedication and excellence in the arts.

We also honored two remarkable student-athletes. Ainsley Johnson was recognized for her incredible volleyball career, while Luke Blackford was celebrated for his outstanding basketball career. In a special surprise announcement, Luke's jersey will be retired in recognition of his school-record-setting accomplishments and the legacy he leaves in our school, the city of Springfield, and Illinois!

The Timothy Award, our highest student honor, was presented to Andrew McElroy. This prestigious award recognizes the graduate who best exemplifies Christian character, servant leadership, integrity, and a commitment to living out biblical values.

We were blessed to hear an inspiring commencement message from Pastor Chris Stanley, who challenged and encouraged our graduates to follow Christ faithfully and pursue God's purpose for their lives.

To the Class of 2026, thank you for the example you have set and the legacy you leave behind. We are proud of your accomplishments, grateful for your impact, and excited to see where God leads you next.

As we conclude the 2025–2026 school year, we celebrate God's faithfulness, the growth of our students, and the countless memories made along the way. Congratulations, graduates—and thank you to all of our students, families, faculty, and staff for another wonderful year at Calvary Academy.

Celebrating Our 8th Grade Graduates

We recently had the privilege of honoring our 8th Grade Class of 2026 as they completed an important chapter and prepared for the next exciting step in their educational journey.

During the ceremony, we recognized students for their outstanding academic achievements. Scholarships were awarded to students who maintained all A's in their classes, demonstrating exceptional dedication and excellence throughout the year.

Our highest honor, the Christian Leadership Award, was presented to Juliette Blakley and Mykah Welk. This award recognizes students who consistently demonstrate Christ-like character, servant leadership, integrity, and a commitment to living out their faith. Along with this honor, each recipient received a scholarship recognizing their achievement.

We are incredibly proud of all of our graduates and pray God's continued guidance and blessings as they move forward into high school.

Congratulations, Class of 2026! 🎉
