In 2019, we saw the first-ever class of 6th-grade students at Howard Connect Academy. We set out on a journey together with the mission to transform the middle school experience through love, connection, and innovation.

This coming May 2026, our first class of students will graduate high school. After 8th grade, many of our students dispersed to various schools across the city to attend high school. We are calling all graduates, teachers, and families to join us for a Graduation Celebration to honor this first class of students, and to join the group back together again to share memories, to celebrate their journey, and to wish them well on their next chapter.

Your donation will be used to rent an event space, to purchase food and beverages, decorations and to hire a DJ for the party!
