With caps and gowns on, 180 seniors from Lake Union academies are preparing to mark a milestone: the close of high school and the beginning of what God has next.
The Lake Union congratulates each graduate on completing this important chapter in their educational journey. “As we celebrate the graduates of 2026, we are reminded that true success is not measured only by achievement, but by a life grounded in faith, service and compassion for others,” Lake Union Education director Nicole Mattson says. “Our prayer is that these graduates will move forward with courage and humility, allowing God to guide their purpose and shine through their influence in the world.”
Here are the details on when, where and how to watch the pomp and circumstance at the eight academies:
