Littleton Public Schools proudly celebrates the Class of 2026 and the remarkable accomplishments of this year’s graduates. A total of 407 students graduated from Arapahoe High School; 426 from Heritage High School; 262 from Littleton High School; 17 from Options High School; and 11 from Transition Services (9 Transition Services students graduated in December). Across each ceremony, graduates, families, staff, and community members came together to recognize a milestone defined by perseverance, growth, and achievement.
During their time in our schools, these graduates pursued opportunities that matched their interests, talents, and goals. Many earned college credit through concurrent enrollment, gained real-world experience through internships and work-based learning, explored career pathways, and developed industry-ready skills and certifications at EPIC Campus.
As they take their next steps, members of the Class of 2026 are headed in many different directions. Some will continue their education at colleges, universities, and trade schools. Others are entering the workforce, taking a gap year, serving in the military, or pursuing appointments to U.S. military academies. While their journeys may differ, they leave LPS equipped with the knowledge, skills, and experiences to make meaningful contributions in their communities and beyond.
Collectively, the Class of 2026 has earned more than $95 million in scholarships, underscoring both their hard work and the bright futures ahead. We are incredibly proud of all they have accomplished and look forward to seeing the impact they will make in the years to come.
Congratulations, Class of 2026! Read on to learn more about the outstanding achievements of this year’s graduates.
