Seventy-three members of Canadian High School’s Class of 2026 will receive their diplomas this week in a graduation ceremony to be held at 10 am on Saturday, May 23, on Chris Koetting Field at Wildcat Stadium. 

Following the class processional, invocation and welcome, Salutatorian Adan Escamilla and Valedictorian Sage Saenz will each address those gathered. CHS Principal Rod Been will read the names of each Class of 2026 member as school board trustees present their diplomas. Superintendent Julia McMains will then announce this year’s winner of the coveted Liske Cup.

Boys State: Joseph Dominguez, Pedro Colomo, Brandon Soto, JW Coffee, Abram Flynn
Girls State: Samantha Benson, Maile Quisenberry, Mirabelle Brown, Landry Appel 

Featuring Our CHS Junior and Senior Artists

As has become our annual holiday tradition, we could not resist once again asking CHS/CMS Wildcat Art students to share their beautiful—and sometimes humorous—images of Christmas. And once again, these young artists have inspired us with their Christmas magic.
