ECA Seniors Serve Up Gratitude
Class of 2026 students cook and serve breakfast to celebrate the families who supported them along the way.
The Early College Academy recently hosted a special tradition that celebrates both hard work and gratitude.
During the school’s annual Senior Parent Breakfast, all 52 graduating seniors from the Class of 2026 welcomed more than 150 parents, grandparents and family members for a meal prepared entirely by the students themselves.
Students arrived early to set up the space, cook breakfast and serve their guests before cleaning everything up when the event was over. The breakfast gave seniors a chance to thank the families who supported them throughout their high school journey.
The event has become a meaningful tradition at Early College Academy, bringing students and families together to celebrate the milestone of graduation and the community that helped make it possible.
