𝓒𝓵𝓪𝓼𝓼 𝓸𝓯 2026 ----> 𝓨𝓸𝓾 𝓭𝓲𝓭 𝓲𝓽!

Last night, our CEO class of 2026, along with their families and our amazing board of directors, came together to celebrate an incredible year together.

It was a beautiful evening filled with student speeches, highlights from the year and, of course, delicious tacos.

Students also received their CEO graduation cords, which intertwine 1 color from each of their 3 high school logos...a reminder that when we come together, amazing things can happen!

We were also excited to announce our recipients of the following CEO honors:
