Your Impact in Action: Celebrating the Class of 2026! 

On Saturday, June 6th, the St. John’s Prep Class of 2026 walked across the stage to receive their diplomas—a milestone made possible not just by their own incredible hard work, but by the unwavering support of our dedicated community. Because of your belief in our mission, these exceptional young leaders are ready to take on the world. This year's inspiring student speakers perfectly captured the ambition that your generosity helps nurture:

Luana Sharif (Salutatorian): Heading to George Washington University this fall.

Valeria Vislocky (Valedictorian): Bound for Columbia University this fall.

The graduates also received a powerful send-off from former NFL player, 2012 Super Bowl Champion, and ESPN commentator Chris Canty, who delivered a moving commencement address on the power of perseverance and determination.

A Legacy of Success: Powered by You

When you invest in St. John’s Prep, you invest in futures. The collective achievements of this graduating class are a testament to what happens when a community rallies behind its youth:

$90.7 Million in total scholarships and grants awarded to the Class of 2026, ensuring their dreams remain within reach.

Elite University Admittances: Our graduates are heading to top-tier institutions, including Columbia University, Cornell University, New York University, George Washington University, Penn State University, Villanova, Iona, and St. John’s University.

Thank You for Believing in Their Potential

Our mission to prepare young graduates for the journey ahead relies entirely on the powerful ecosystem of families, alumni, and donors. The contagious joy in the stadium on graduation day belonged to all of us.

Thank you for your continued partnership and investment in the next generation of SJP leaders. We are incredibly proud of the Class of 2026, and we can’t wait to see how they change the world—carrying your legacy of support with them.
