The Martha’s Vineyard Public Charter School class of 2026 celebrated their graduation on Saturday, walking to the stage on the school grounds wearing the traditional purple and white flower crowns perched atop their heads. Fleetwood Mac’s Dreams played as parents, teachers, friends and the wider Island community cheered them on.
At 15 students strong, this year’s graduating class was the second largest in the school’s history. The students’ interests are varied, ranging from social justice, to pharmacology, to arts graphic, theatrical and culinary. But their mentors said they are united by a commitment to learning, and to each other.
“You are alchemists, uniquely harmonious, embracing and pushing each other forward,” Spanish teacher and college counselor Victoria Dryfoos told the class. “Many times I have heard you lift each other up, speak kindly, and step aside so another one can shine.”
