🎓 Congratulations to the EA2 Class of 2026! 🎓

Quad County Urban League is proud to celebrate another successful year of EA2 in partnership with East Aurora School District 131

During the 2025-2026 school year, 37 students were referred from District 131 to EA2. Through personalized support, academic guidance, and career readiness training, 35 students completed all required coursework, met graduation requirements, and earned their high school diplomas, resulting in an outstanding 94.6% completion rate.

In addition to earning their diplomas, students gained valuable workforce credentials, including:
✔ First Aid/CPR Certification
✔ OSHA 10 Certification
✔ NCCER Industry-Recognized Credential

One graduate, Everado, shared:

"In EA2 it’s more one-on-one attention. I was more focused on getting just my assignments done instead of other tasks. I also felt more connected and comfortable."

His experience reflects the power of individualized support and the strong partnership between Quad County Urban League and East Aurora School District 131 in helping students overcome barriers and achieve success.

Congratulations to all of our graduates. Your hard work, perseverance, and determination have opened the door to new opportunities and a brighter future.
