Global Impact STEM Academy extends its heartfelt congratulations to the Class of 2026, who celebrated their graduation at the Clark State Performing Arts Center Kuss Auditorium last night. Families and students can view photos of their graduate by accessing the Quic Pics link provided here: https://www.quic.pics/checkin/27372096

The system will prompt you to upload a selfie or photo of the student. After that, the software will generate a gallery specifically for that student.

Photos are expected to be available later today, and anyone who has registered will receive a notification from the software.
Note: If the student had fall photos taken at GISA, they are already registered in the system.
