Every graduation at Stautzenberger is important. And this graduation, marking the start of our 100th year, was one for the books.
On February 13, 2026, Stautzenberger College proudly celebrated another graduating class. Over the decades, the outfits have changed. The oversized cameras have been replaced with smartphones. Far-flung relatives get a Facetime instead of a program in the mail weeks later. But some things are the same: the flowers, the hugs, the tears. And that timeless feeling of “I did it.”
Every path looked a little different. Some students balanced school with full-time jobs. Others with family. Some came in with a clear plan. Others figured it out along the way. And they all left with job-ready skills.
That’s what graduation at Stautz is all about: Not only finishing, but being ready for what comes next.
Below, are highlights from the day, capturing the smiles, celebrations, and #StautzStrong moments that made the day unforgettable.
