One of our favorite times of the year has come and gone, and we are so proud of this class of young men. We'd like to share a few photos to celebrate the Ginn Academy Class of 2016, along with all of their exemplary efforts and successes.

Speaker, Captain Jamal Robinson, Glenville H.S. and U.S. Military Academy at West Point graduate |
On May 22, 2016, 59 high school seniors walked across the stage at Cuyahoga Community College's Metro Campus and received their diplomas. This class has earned nearly three million dollars in scholarships. We are proud to say that we have a 93% graduation rate this year, well above the national average.

Before the ceremony begins, Mr. Ginn leaves the graduates with some final words of wisdom |
These students have big plans and will enter the world with further studies at universities throughout the country, apprenticeships for jobs, and military careers. We have done everything possible to send them on prepared to face their next steps.
