Graduation Ceremony

The Elmwood Graduation Ceremony is a celebration of persistence, growth, and achievement. Held outdoors on the Main Campus grounds whenever weather permits, the ceremony brings together graduates, families, faculty, employers, and community members to recognize the hard work that brought students to this moment. Each graduate walks across the stage to receive their credential, and select students are recognized for academic excellence, community service, and leadership. The event includes speeches from the President, a graduating student, and a community partner who reflects on the value Elmwood graduates bring to the workforce. Afterwards, guests gather for refreshments, photos, and the first official toast as Elmwood alumni.
