Another school year has come and gone with summer break offering a long desired break for many students. Meanwhile, the Class of 2026 is relishing in their final days of high school.

While the next chapter may involve going to college, going into a trade or

heading straight for the workforce, Stillwater graduates are bound for greatness.

The Class of 2026 is the 150th class to graduate from Stillwater Area Highschool, marking another important milestone for the district as a whole.

Over 600 students will walk across the stage of Roy Wilkins Auditorium in downtown St. Paul during the May

23 graduation ceremony, which begins at 1 p. m. All graduating seniors should report to the auditorium by 12:15 p. m.

Students with a GPA of 3.0 or higher will be awarded a cord or stole to wear with their cap and gown during graduation, each signifying their final GPA range.

Following the last day of school on

May 21, seniors will celebrate the end of the year with a senior picnic after commencement practice on May 22. After commencement, the class will celebrate their accomplishments during the senior class party on May 23 at PINZ in Oakdale, a tradition since 1980.
