Class of 2026

Senior Parade: Tuesday, May 12, 2026

Members of the Upper St. Clair High School Class of 2026 returned to where their educational journeys began during the district’s annual Senior Parade on Tuesday, May 12, 2026.

Now in its third year, the tradition invites graduating seniors to revisit their elementary schools – Baker, Eisenhower and Streams – and celebrate the full-circle moment before commencement.

Dressed in caps and gowns, the seniors were welcomed with cheers, hugs and smiles as elementary students lined the hallways waving handmade signs and offering high-fives to the soon-to-be graduates. Former teachers, including several retirees, also returned to congratulate the Class of 2026 and celebrate the milestone occasion.

For the graduating seniors, the visits provided an opportunity to reconnect with the schools and teachers who helped shape their early years. For the district’s youngest students, the parade offered a glimpse into their own futures and the possibilities that lie ahead.

Organized by Brooke Tarcson, Upper St. Clair High School’s head of student activities, the event brought together students across all grade levels. The annual tradition serves as a meaningful reminder of how far the Class of 2026 has come – and the bright future awaiting its members as they prepare to graduate on June 4.
