CONGRATULATIONS CLASS OF 2026!

On Thursday, May 14, Tri Star hosted its annual Senior Recognition Ceremony. The event opened with the presentation of scholarships and grants awarded to Tri Star students. Following this, each program was called to the Crown Student Union, where students walked across the stage and received their career passports during the afternoon ceremony.

The career passport is a comprehensive portfolio that includes a student’s résumé, competency list, certifications and/or industry credentials, grade transcript, and more. It serves as a valuable tool for college and job interviews, while also highlighting the achievements students have earned during their time at Tri Star.

Outstanding seniors from each program were also recognized. To celebrate the occasion, students enjoyed a lunch catered by Dave's Barbeque and Catering of St. Marys.

Congratulations Seniors!
