🎓 Attention Wadena Composite School Graduates! 🎓

You did it!

After years of alarms you ignored, assignments you swore you submitted, group projects where one person did all the work, and asking, “Is this going to be on the test?” — you’ve officially made it to graduation!

The Town of Wadena would like to congratulate the Wadena Composite School Class of 2026 on this incredible achievement.

Today, you leave school with a diploma, a lifetime of memories, and the sudden realization that your parents were right about a few things.

Whether you’re heading to college, university, the trades, the workforce, or taking some time to figure it out, we wish you all the best in your next adventure.

Remember:
✅ Believe in yourself
✅ Work hard
✅ Be kind
✅ Call your mom

Congratulations, Class of 2026! Wadena is proud of you, and we’re excited to see what you’ll accomplish next.

🎓 Now go change the world!
