YES Prep North Central Secondary | Class of 2025 Commencement

Commencement provides an opportunity for YES Prep students, teachers, families and friends to celebrate the graduating class as they earn their diploma. Commencement is not only a celebration, but also a culmination of current secondary students' typical seven-year YES Prep experience, beginning in the sixth grade. With the addition of elementary schools, that YES experience will soon extend to cover their elementary years.
