It’s that time of year! The class of 2026 has made it through their long years of hard work, achievement, and commitment. As the year comes to a close, Rockville High School is proud to celebrate the 2026 graduating seniors at its annual graduation ceremony. Family, friends, faculty, and staff will gather to honor the accomplishments of the class of 2026 as they receive their diplomas and begin the next chapter of their lives.

The ceremony will take place at the University of Baltimore County (UMBC), on Thursday the  11th. The doors will open at 5 P.M. and the ceremony will begin at 6 P.M.

Commencement and guest speaker Delegate Anne Kaiser. She is a Democratic member of the Maryland House of Delegates representing District 14 in Montgomery County, and first assumed office on January 8, 2003, she is one of the chamber’s veteran lawmakers.

The ceremony will recognize students for their hard work and dedication throughout their years of elementary, middle, and high school. Graduates will move on to a variety of paths, including college, military, trade schools, and straight into the workforce.

Graduation will conclude a busy year for Seniors, which started with applying for colleges. This year’s senior trip to Hershey Park was held on May 26th, giving students an opportunity to celebrate together before commencement. Seniors who completed all graduation requirements also participated in the school’s annual “fade out” schedule during the final week of classes. 

As graduation approaches, excitement continues to build throughout the school community. For the Class of 2026, commencement will serve as both a celebration of past accomplishments and the beginning of a new chapter beyond Rockville High School.
