✨ Friday, we celebrated something truly special. ✨
Our College Track New Orleans Launch to College Class of 2026 gathered with family, friends, staff, mentors, counselors, community partners, and supporters to celebrate a milestone years in the making.
The room was filled with joy, pride, gratitude, and hope as we honored the hard work, resilience, and determination that brought our scholars to this moment.
From college acceptance letters and college choice decisions to Senior Dinner, senior portraits, and everything in between, every smile captured in these photos tells a story of perseverance, possibility, and purpose.
As we looked around the room Friday evening, we were reminded of something we often say at CTNO: this work has value.
The value is found in the relationships built over time. The late-night application reviews. The college visits. The difficult conversations. The celebrations. The moments when a scholar begins to believe that their dreams are possible.
But at College Track, we know this is not the end of the journey.
Launch to College is exactly that—a launch. Through our 10-year promise, we will continue walking alongside these scholars as they pursue their college degrees and build the futures they have worked so hard to create.
To the Class of 2026: We are proud of you. We believe in you. And we cannot wait to see what you do next.
💙💛 Congratulations, Launch to College Class of 2026!
