Congratulations to the Class of 2026!

"...the most important lesson is don’t let the failures of life go to waste. Turn them into opportunities. Opportunities to become a better friend, a better student, a better employee, a better boss, a better shake maker. Whatever it might be, I challenge you to choose to take all the failures of life and use them to make you better. " - Treyton Schulz

"And now to my fellow classmates—the class of 2026—I hope we all remember that true contentment comes not by longing for the past or worrying about the future; but by living in the moment and enjoying the simple pleasures of life, choosing to be there for others, and learning to move forward through the many stages of life while holding onto the memories that mattered most. " - Callie Wagenbach

Today's Class of 2026 Commencement Exercises will be live-streamed on the Wapello CSD Facebook Page. The stream will start shortly before the 2:00 p.m. ceremony.

Today, we proudly celebrate the Wapello High School Class of 2026.

Graduation is more than a ceremony—it is the culmination of years of hard work, perseverance, growth, and unforgettable memories. From your first days walking through our school doors to this incredible milestone, we have watched you learn, lead, compete, perform, serve, and grow into remarkable young adults.

As you turn the page to your next chapter, whether that journey leads you to college, the workforce, military service, or new adventures yet to be discovered, know that you will always be a part of the Wapello family. No matter where life takes you, you will forever be an Indian. Wapello will always be home, and this community will always be cheering you on.

To the families, staff, and community members who helped guide and support these graduates—thank you for being part of their story.

Class of 2026, dream boldly, work hard, stay true to yourselves, and never forget where you came from. Your future is bright, and we cannot wait to see the impact you will make on the world.

Congratulations, graduates!

With pride and admiration,
Wapello Community School District Board of Directors
