Operation Graduation
About
Graduation is a significant achievement in the life of any young person, and the success of all students should be celebrated!
Again this year, we are honoring graduates during Operation Graduation, which will showcase essays, photos and videos from Ombudsman students. We invite our staff to help us find – and share – great graduate stories. We’ll feature selected videos and essays here on the website, blog and social media and announce the winner in July 2016.
Be sure to like our Facebook Page, subscribe to the Destination Diploma blog and to our YouTube channel to receive updates when this year’s essays and videos are posted. We can’t wait to see what we get from our 2015-16 grads!
