There were 343 graduates in the Class of 2026 at Junction City High School on Sunday. This was the 151st commencement at JCHS.
Teacher and coach Tim Testa told the graduates to work hard and they will survive. "Allow yourself to listen and learn from other people."
Superintendent Dr. Reginald Eggleston noted each graduation ceremony is a school district celebration.
The 2026 class moto was the following, “You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending,” which was famously said by C.S. Lewis. The class flower was the daisy, and the class colors were royal blue, white and fuchsia. Finally, the 2026 senior class was only the second class to attend all four years at the current high school on 1100 Blue Jay Way.
