Whitney Point Students Celebrate Academic Milestones and Year-End Traditions

As the academic year draws to a close, the Whitney Point community is preparing to celebrate the achievements and transitions of its students. The Whitney Point High School Class of 2026 is looking forward to its Graduation Day, a significant milestone for students, families, and the entire village, scheduled for June 26, 2026, at the WP High School Stadium.

Adding to the pride, the Whitney Point Central School District Board of Education recently recognized the academic excellence within the graduating class. During a Board meeting on May 19, 2026, the district proudly acknowledged the top ten students of the Class of 2026 for their outstanding dedication and hard work. These distinguished students are Olivia Summers, Hannah Summers, Khloe Mullen, Natalie St. John, Shell Sabin, Billie Leet, Genevie Houston, Maline Zair, Connor Jrasa, and Lily Davis.

Among these high achievers is Billie Leet, a senior who exemplifies a well-rounded student. In addition to her academic distinction, Billie has also received recognition from the New York State Volleyball Coaches Association. Her commitment to the school community extends to her role as a Student Representative on the Whitney Point CSD Board of Education for the 2025-26 academic year.

The celebrations extend beyond the graduating class. The Tioughnioga Riverside Academy will host its Eighth-Grade Moving Up & Awards Ceremony on Friday, June 12, 2026. This special event, beginning at 6 p.m. in the TRA Auditorium, will honor younger students as they transition to the next stage of their education and acknowledge their accomplishments throughout the year.

Another cherished tradition marking the end of the school year is the Whitney Point Prom, offering students a chance to gather and celebrate together. The Prom is set to take place on June 5, 2026, from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m.

These upcoming events and recent recognitions highlight a period of joy and transition for Whitney Point's students, reflecting the community's support for their growth and success as they look forward to future endeavors.
