Philadelphia, PA, June 23, 2026 - Liguori Academy
Philadelphia, PA — On June 3, 2026, Liguori Academy proudly celebrated the graduation of the Private School class of 2026. Surrounded by family, friends, faculty, and supporters, graduates crossed the stage and marked the culmination of years of hard work, growth, and perseverance.
But at Liguori Academy, graduation is about more than earning a diploma. It is about leaving high school prepared for what comes next.
The Class of 2026 leaves Liguori Academy with more than memories of classes, school events, and friendships. They leave with industry certifications, internship experience, professional skills, career exposure, and a clear plan for their future. Through workforce development courses, career cohorts, shadow days, internships, and personalized postsecondary planning, these students have spent the last four years preparing for life beyond high school. Simply put, they are Liguori Ready.
The accomplishments of the Class of 2026 reflect what is possible when students are given opportunities to explore their interests, develop real-world skills, and gain hands-on experience before graduation.
For Collette, a member of Liguori Academy’s Digital Arts Cohort, these opportunities helped pave the way to higher education and future career success.
Collette was hired as a summer intern at E-Built after completing an internship with the company through Liguori Academy. This fall, she will attend Immaculata University as a member of the Honors Program, where she plans to study Communication and Business. While at Liguori, she worked toward earning her Adobe Illustrator certification, a credential that will help her begin building professional experience while pursuing her degree.
“Liguori has prepared me for my pathway by always having someone alongside me to answer questions and guide me through the process,” Collette shared. “My certification will allow me to enter the career pathway while I am in college.”
For Eric, the support and guidance he received at Liguori Academy helped identify a career path in the skilled trades.
Eric will attend Orleans Technical College to pursue HVAC technician training. He credits Liguori Academy’s counselors, staff, and career readiness programs with helping him develop a plan for life after graduation.
“Liguori prepared me for this pathway by providing guidance and resources. They offered advice on choosing the right career path, helped me understand my options, and supported me in setting goals for the future. Overall, my high school played a big role in helping me plan my next steps and get ready for life after graduation.”
