Celebrating Our Graduates and the Power of Partnership
It’s graduation season in Shawnee, and we want to extend our heartfelt congratulations to the graduating classes of Oklahoma Baptist University, Gordon Cooper Technology Center, and our local high schools. These students have worked hard, shown resilience, and are now stepping into the next chapter—whether that’s continuing education, entering the workforce, or exploring new opportunities.
We are incredibly fortunate as a community to have such strong partnerships with our educational institutions. These schools don’t just educate—they cultivate the future leaders, workers, and innovators of Shawnee. They play a vital role in building a talent pipeline that helps meet the evolving needs of our local businesses and strengthens our economy.
To all the graduates: we are proud of you, and we wish you nothing but success on your journey ahead. And to our community: if you see a graduate, be sure to congratulate them—you never know the impact of a few encouraging words or where that connection may lead for both of you!
There really is something for everyone at Shawnee Forward this week! We’ve got a packed lineup of events—check out the list below and sign up for one or all of them to get the most out of your membership.
With something happening every day, I hope to see you at one (or more!) and have the chance to say hello in person.
