CONGRATULATIONS | Class of 2026 Graduates!
Last Friday, we had the privilege of celebrating the Amundsen High School Class of 2026 as they crossed the stage and officially became Amundsen alumni. Graduation is always a special milestone, and we could not be more proud of the hard work, perseverance, and accomplishments of this outstanding group of Vikings.
On behalf of the entire Amundsen community, congratulations to the Class of 2026. Whether our graduates are headed to college, the military, the workforce, or other exciting opportunities, we wish them success, happiness, and fulfillment in all of their future endeavors.
For families and friends who would like to relive the celebration or share it with loved ones who were unable to attend, a recording of the graduation ceremony is available on the Amundsen Sports Media YouTube Channel. The official graduation program may also be viewed here: amundsenhs.org/classof2026 for a limited time.
Congratulations once again to the Class of 2026.

SUMMER OPPORTUNITY | Earn While You Learn, with Joffrey Ballet
Joffrey Ballet is partnering with ASM this summer to provide paid opportunities for teens to learn dance. The first program is a beginner to intermediate program taking place at Lake View High School. This opportunity is for 14- and 15-year-old students.
The second program is for 14–18-year-olds. This is our advanced program that takes place downtown. Anyone wanting to participate in this program should have at least some dance experience. We also want to note that there are only a few slots remaining for 16–18-year-olds in the advanced program. Anyone that wants to participate should reach out ASAP.
