13 Years in the Making: Celebrating the Class of 2026

The Class of 2026 introduced a new tradition honoring students whose journey began in a Coopersville classroom and ended on the graduation stage.

For many members of the Class of 2026, graduation marked the final step in a journey that began in a Coopersville classroom more than 13 years ago.

As the 134th graduating class crossed the stage on May 27, many wore a green Bronco Legacy Cord, recognizing students who attended Coopersville schools continuously from kindergarten through graduation.

The ceremony featured reflections from student speakers Brady Steffes, Nicole Wernette, and Olivia Droski, along with remarks from guest speaker Todd VanHouten, a Coopersville High School graduate and longtime educator who reminded students that "Nothing can replace hard work."

From musical performances to cherished traditions, the evening celebrated a class defined by perseverance, friendships, and memories made along the way.

Congratulations, Class of 2026. Thank you for being part of the Coopersville story.
