🛠 Yesterday, we had the opportunity to celebrate an exciting milestone for the first graduating cohort of the Laramie County School District 1 Trades Academy as students shared their next steps toward careers in the skilled trades and higher education programs.

This celebration recognized over 30 graduating seniors as they prepare to enter local trade careers and continue building their futures.

A special thank you to Meta, whose generous support provided each Trades Academy student with their very first pair of work boots to help launch their next chapter. Moments like these are powerful reminders of what can happen when industry and education come together to invest in students.
