Graduation Celebration

The annual Graduation Celebration provides an opportunity for mentors, family members, and scholarship donors to celebrate graduating senior mentees’ hard work and achievements.
TeamMates Graduation Celebration 2025
Congratulations to the Class of 2025! We celebrated our graduating mentees at our Graduation Celebration, held at the UNL Willa Cather Dining Complex’s Red Cloud Room.
Mentees and their mentors, school facilitators, and families gathered to celebrate and hear well-wishes from their principals, Coach Tom Osborne, and LPS Interim Superintendent, Dr. John Skretta. Nearly 60 graduating mentees were honored and given a commemorative medal and certificate of accomplishment. 23 of those graduates were also honored with a scholarship sponsored by community partners.
Three soon-to-be grads also spoke about their TeamMates journey and how their mentor has impacted their life.
Congratulations to the Class of 2025! Nearly 85 mentees will be honored in May at their high school graduation celebrations.
Mentors are welcome to attend their mentee’s graduation ceremony if invited by their mentee. Please see the schedule below.
