Dear graduates of 2026, Graduation from high school will bring many changes ahead. Some you are actively preparing for the future as you look to either move on to post-secondary education or begin to transition directly into the work force. Others of you are still pondering a direction and a purpose with what to do with this thing called existence. Whatever your choices ahead, remember that your lives are like an unfinished book, with new pages written every single day of your lives, and with all the twists and turns that our choices lead down. I urge you all to make that story a good one, and take all that life brings you – both good and bad – one day at a time. On behalf of the staff of The Brandon Sun, I wish all of this year’s graduates great success in your future careers, and happiness in your lives to come. — Matt Goerzen, Brandon Sun editor

Congratulations to the class of 2026

Ready for your next step?

At Brandon University, you’ll join a welcoming community, with supportive faculty and staff, plus programs that help you launch confidently into your future.
