Uplift Ascend Preparatory

What an incredible way to wrap up the 2025–26 school year! 🎉

We had an amazing time celebrating together at our Secondary Block Party and ending the year full of joy, laughter, and community. Thank you to our incredible scholars, families, teachers, staff, and community for making this school year so special. 💚🦅

We are so grateful for all the memories, growth, and moments shared this year at Uplift Ascend. We hope everyone has a safe, fun, and restful summer break! ☀️

Have a wonderful summer, Eagles — we can’t wait to see you back for the 2026–27 school year!

🎓 One last walk through the halls of Ascend.

Today, the Class of 2026 took their final Senior Walk through the hallways they’ve called home. What a special moment celebrating memories, growth, and all that is ahead.

We are so proud of our seniors and can’t wait to see all they accomplish. Once an Eagle, always an Eagle! 🦅💚

Today was a very special day at Uplift Ascend as we celebrated someone who has meant so much to our school family — Mr. Benny (Benigno Villalpando). 💚🦅

Since the very beginning of Uplift Ascend, Mr. Benny has faithfully cared for our campus, loved our scholars and staff, and served our community with kindness, humility, and a smile. As he prepares to retire this summer, we wanted to make sure he knows just how greatly loved and deeply missed he will be.

Today, we had the honor of celebrating Mr. Benny with a special parade around the school alongside his family to show our appreciation for all he has meant to us over the years.

Mr. Benny, thank you for your years of dedication, hard work, and love for our Ascend family. Your impact goes far beyond the halls you helped care for — you have helped care for people. You will always be part of the Uplift Ascend family. 💚

Help us wish Mr. Benny a happy retirement in the comments! 🎉
