College Prep High School in Spokane, WA – Gonzaga Prep Graduation Success

For more than a century, Gonzaga Preparatory School has helped young people discover who they are, what they value and how they are called to serve. As a Jesuit, Catholic school, we cultivate intellectual curiosity, encourage reflection and challenge students to use their gifts in service of others. The result is graduates who leave Gonzaga Prep prepared for the next stage of their journey and committed to using their gifts in service of others.

Members of the Class of 2026 embraced that challenge.

Together, they completed 1,104 college-credit courses while at Gonzaga Prep, averaging 5.6 college-credit or Advanced Placement classes per student. Their accomplishments reflect countless hours of study, curiosity in the classroom and a willingness to pursue academic opportunities that stretch and challenge them.

Learning at Gonzaga Prep extends well beyond the classroom.

Each year, our students contribute more than 40,000 hours of service throughout Spokane and beyond. They tutor younger students, serve meals, support local organizations and accompany those on the margins. Through these experiences, students come to understand leadership as an act of service and recognize the dignity present in every person.

The Class of 2026 will continue that journey at 65 different colleges and universities across the country. Some will remain close to home. Others will travel far from Spokane. Each leaves Gonzaga Prep with a strong foundation and a clearer sense of purpose.

None of this happens by accident.

It happens because students are surrounded by teachers, coaches, counselors and mentors who know them well and challenge them to grow. It happens in classrooms where ideas are tested and explored, on athletic fields where perseverance and teamwork are strengthened, on stages where confidence takes shape and through service experiences that broaden perspectives and deepen compassion.

The story of the Class of 2026 is one chapter in a much larger story—a story of faith, rigorous study, friendship and service that continues to unfold with each graduating class.

As you explore this graduation program, we invite you to celebrate the accomplishments of our graduates and the many people who helped them reach this moment. Their next steps will take them in different directions, but they leave Gonzaga Prep united by a shared commitment to learn deeply, lead generously and serve others.
