What a special moment today watching our Vernon High School seniors take their final walk through Vernon Elementary School. From little Yellow Jackets walking these halls for the first time to now walking across the graduation field tonight, this is such a full circle moment for our students, families, teachers, and community.

To the Class of 2026, we are so proud of you. Your journey started with small steps, and tonight you take a big one into your future.

Come out and celebrate our seniors Friday night… See them on the field at 7:00 p.m. for graduation! 💙🧡
