Two campuses, two ceremonies, one class of 2026!

Last night at the Airport Campus, we saw a lot of personality: diesel students in Hawaiian shirts (zoom in for dinosaurs, crayons, and all), cowboy hats with tassels, Aviation Maintenance gads in propeller caps, and lots of creativity mixed into the ceremony. These traditions reflect the hands-on and tight-knit nature of our trades programs.

Today at the Donaldson Campus, cohorts celebrated with a ceremony just as meaningful. We do graduation a little differently at Helena College, there is no long, one-size-fits-all ceremony. Cohorts rotate through so each program gets its own moment in the spotlight with recognition that actually reflects their experiences. It is a fun and exciting way to recognize the hard work students put in to earn their degrees.

Congratulations to all of our graduates! Cheers to the Class of 2026!

Today was all about honoring the journey.

Our nursing and cosmetology students were pinned today, surrounded by the people who helped them get here. Parents, kids, siblings, grandparents, partners, and friends all took part in this tradition, celebrating the support behind every late night, early morning, and milestone reached by their loved ones as they pursued their education and dreams.

Tonight we celebrate our Airport Campus graduates, and tomorrow we continue at Donaldson Campus, but today, we paused to recognize the moments (and the people) that made it all possible for our future nurses and cosmetology professionals.

Congratulations to our newly pinned nurses and cosmetologists as they step into the next chapter as licensed professionals. We can't wait to see where you go from here!
