Alamo Colleges District Colleges' Graduations Celebrate Success
All five colleges of the Alamo Colleges District recently
celebrated student success with graduation ceremonies.

Students at all five of the colleges of the Alamo Colleges District celebrated the completion of their educational goals at uplifting graduation ceremonies attended by their families, friends, faculty, staff, administrators and members of the Alamo Colleges District Board of Trustees. Student speakers and special guests shared their inspirational stories of accomplishment in the face of the difficulties and challenges that they overcame.

The opportunity to walk across the stage at graduation to the cheers of those who helped make their journey possible was the culmination for many of years of hard work and sacrifice by them and their families. The majority of Alamo Colleges District students juggle college courses with job and family responsibilities, making their success even more of an occasion for celebration.  

For many, their degree or certificate will lead immediately to successful careers and greater financial security. Others will continue their educational journey at four-year universities to earn bachelor's, master's or doctoral degrees to prepare for the career of their choice.

Congratulations to all our graduates from the entire Alamo Colleges District family. We wish them continued success!
