Friends of GEO Leave Legacy and Foundation for Future

It's been a wild three weeks running from Gary, Indiana to Baton Rouge, Louisiana and back to Indianapolis to celebrate the remarkable achievements of our Class of 2026. More than 80% of our graduates this year have earned more than a high school diploma including 32 associate degrees and 150 career certifications out of a class of 220 students. While that is a lot to smile about, my smile got bigger at each event when I was approached by older and younger siblings of my current students who told me what they have done with their lives and/or what they plan to do.
