And that’s a wrap, Class of 2026 🎓💙

Yesterday, our OSSB Panthers crossed the stage, turned their tassels, and celebrated a milestone years in the making. We are so proud of each graduate, not only for what they’ve accomplished, but for the resilience, leadership, friendships, and memories they’ve built along the way.

To our families, staff, and supporters: thank you for cheering them on every step of the journey.

And to the Class of 2026: your story is just beginning, and we cannot wait to see where life takes you next. Once a Panther, always a Panther. Congratulations, graduates!
