Our Student Success Ceremony with Cass Tech High School and Communication and Media Arts High School was all about recognizing students as they move forward: whether they’re stepping into Year 2 (11th grade) or graduating and preparing for college, trade school, or apprenticeships.

We’re proud of these milestone moments! 🎓

Thank you to the families, mentors, teachers, and administrators who showed up to celebrate with us.

Pride is about showing up as you are. We’re here for that and proud to support young people from all backgrounds as they build skills, confidence, and a future they’re excited about.

The Harper Woods Student Success Ceremony was a meaningful celebration of the progress our students have made and the exciting opportunities ahead.

Each student was recognized by name, honored on stage, and presented with a certificate to mark this important milestone. Graduating seniors also received cords to wear at their high school graduation as a symbol of their dedication and achievement.

The celebration continued with photos alongside families, mentors, and supporters whose encouragement plays an important role in every student’s journey. Swipe to see highlights from this special day.
