Congratulations to the 2025-2026 Graduates of LARA Kokomo! 🎓

We were proud to celebrate 14 graduates this spring, with 7 graduates participating in our commencement ceremony surrounded by more than 100 family members and friends.

The photos capture special moments from before and during the ceremony, including graduates gathering with classmates and loved ones, the procession led by Board President Corie Shaner, and Executive Director Julie Hackerd addressing the graduating class. These images reflect the pride, excitement, and sense of accomplishment that filled the day.

A special thank you to Board President Corie Shaner for leading the graduation procession. We also appreciate dedication of their teacher, Janet Geier-Moriarty, and Sara Beck, who joined us in celebrating our students' achievements.

The ceremony concluded with a celebration featuring food, cake, and fellowship as graduates, families, and friends came together to honor this important milestone.

Congratulations to all of our graduates! Your hard work, perseverance, and dedication have paid off, and we are excited to see what the future holds for each of you. 🎉🎓

Our amazing adult education students had a wonderful day exploring downtown! 🌆✨

From discovering local businesses to learning about popular community hot spots, this trip was all about connecting classroom learning to real-life experiences. It was inspiring to see our students engaged, curious, and enjoying time together outside the classroom.

We’re so proud of their enthusiasm and willingness to learn and grow every day. Experiences like these truly bring learning to life! 💙
