We are so proud to celebrate our recent graduates from Watervliet WAY High School, who officially crossed the finish line on January 21, 2026!
Each of you has worked incredibly hard to get here, and we couldn’t be more proud of your determination, growth, and accomplishments. The future is bright, and we can’t wait to see what’s next for you all! 💫
Way to go, grads - once a Panther, always a Panther! 🐾❤️

Benny has made such a positive impact for so many of our students, and we’re so thankful for everything he’s done in the Lab. He has been such a great teacher, mentor, and friend to all of his students.
Congrats to you, Benny!!
We’re definitely going to miss you in the Lab, but we’re so happy for you and know you will continue to make an impact on Watervliet students for years to come.

If you could add any class or club to the school, what would it be?
I would add performing arts. I think it would allow many students to branch out and help create an outgoing mindset. 🎭✨
Who has inspired or supported you the most in reaching your goals and how?
My grandma gives me words of motivation to push forward. My little siblings motivate me because I want them to see me as a good role model growing up. 💕
What is a piece of advice you would give to a new student at the WAY Program?
Stay focused and goal oriented even when you feel like you can’t. You make the most progress in consistency.
We are so proud of you, Mackenzie! Keep up the amazing work and continue being an inspiration to your peers.
