Tacoma Public Schools

IT’S ABOUT THE JOURNEY: Before crossing the stage to receive their diplomas, many of our Class of 2026 graduates went back to the elementary schools where it all began. They walked the halls of and were welcomed with cheers, high fives and excitement from young students.

Some grads revisited favorite memories, from reconnecting with the teachers and staff who helped shape them to jumping back into a classic PE tradition with the giant parachute. Safe to say there were a few emotional moments as past and present came together in the best way.

We are so proud of you, Class of 2026! (Pictured here are Birney, Sherman and Washington grad walks.)

WE’RE SO PROUD OF YOU! Today we celebrated 18 Community Based Transition (CBT) interns who have completed the program. CBT is an option after the comprehensive high school experience that provides transition services for students/young adults receiving special education services between the ages of 18-22 years old. Students participate in internships with local businesses and organizations. CBT’s mission is to assist participants toward independence in daily living tasks, community access, career exploration, connections to services, and future employment.
