As graduation drew near, Deer Park High School seniors took a nostalgic trip back to where their educational journey first began. On the Monday before commencement, the Class of 2026 boarded buses to visit John Quincy Adams Primary School, May Moore Primary School and John F. Kennedy Intermediate School, reconnecting with former teachers and inspiring the district’s youngest learners.

Wearing placards featuring photos of themselves as elementary students, the soon-to-be graduates walked the hallways as current students cheered, waved and exchanged high-fives, creating a memorable full-circle moment for students and staff alike.
