Whitney Point Schools Mark Year's End with Graduation and Celebrations

The Whitney Point Central School District is concluding its 2025-2026 academic year with a series of significant events, culminating in the high school graduation ceremony later this month. These activities mark a period of transition and celebration for students and families across the district, acknowledging their hard work and achievements throughout the year.

The highlight of the end-of-year calendar is the Whitney Point High School graduation, scheduled for Friday, June 26, 2026. Proud families and community members will gather at the WP High School Stadium to celebrate the Class of 2026 as they receive their diplomas and look toward future endeavors. This cherished tradition provides a moment for reflection and forward-looking hope for the graduating seniors.

Instructional days for Whitney Point High School students officially concluded on June 16, 2026, allowing time for end-of-year assessments. Younger students will have their last day of instruction slightly later. For Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 8 students, the final instructional day is set for June 23, 2026. On this day, Tioughnioga Riverside Academy (TRA) will dismiss students at 11 a.m., while Caryl E. Adams Primary School (CEA) will have dismissal at noon.

The weeks leading up to these final days have been filled with various activities acknowledging student progress and community milestones. Regents Exams have been underway from June 9 through June 26, 2026, as high school students completed their state assessments. On June 12, 2026, the Tioughnioga Riverside Academy auditorium hosted a meaningful Grade 8 Moving-Up Ceremony and Awards, recognizing students transitioning to high school.

Beyond academic milestones, the district also fostered community spirit through social events. Early in June, the District Art Show showcased the creative talents of students, followed by an Ice Cream Social at Whitney Point High School on June 3rd and 4th, 2026, respectively. The Class of 2026 enjoyed their Junior/Senior Prom and an After-Prom Party on June 5, 2026, creating lasting memories. The district will also observe Juneteenth, with no school on June 19, 2026. Looking ahead to the next academic year, a Parent/Caregiver Information Night is planned for June 25, 2026, to assist current third graders in making the transition to fourth grade at TRA. As the school year draws to a close, the Whitney Point Central School District extends its best wishes to all students, staff, and families for a safe and enjoyable summer.
