Did you know many of our students spend 7 to 12 years with us at Next Generation Scholars? Some begin as early as first grade. Over that time, we pour more than 1,600 hours into each Scholar’s growth; not just academically, but also in their personal growth and leadership development, too.
That’s why graduation is so powerful. Watching our students wear their new campus t-shirts and reveal the next chapter of their academic journey is a moment of deep pride for all of us.
This year’s theme, "In Community, Together," reminds us that it truly takes a village. We’re grateful to the families, supporters, and mentors who’ve helped lift our Scholars to this moment.
But our collaboration doesn’t end here.
Because community means lifelong connection. And no matter where they go, our graduates will always be part of the NGS family.
Beaming with Pride,
The Team at Next Generation Scholars
And the Award Goes to...

Andy: Most Committed High School Student
Despite his long commute by bus and on foot (over 1,000 commuting hours this year!), Andy always shows up ready and excited to engage with NGS. We are so lucky to have him as part of our organization, and we're thrilled to award him the title of "Most Committed High School Student" at this year's graduation event.
