Board of Education President John B. De Leon officially accepted the graduating class of 2025, commending students for their hard work and dedication.
Graduates received certificates in GED, High School Equivalency, and Career Technical Education (CTE) pathways, including HVAC, Electrical, Barbering and Cosmetology, Automotive, Culinary Arts and more.
The evening began with a free community reception hosted by the BPACE Culinary Arts program, featuring hand-crafted refreshments such as fruta picada cups, barbacoa baked potatoes, and churro cookies, all made from scratch by Culinary students.
The ceremony recognized many individual achievements, including honor roll recipients. This year’s event drew twice as many family members and friends compared to previous years, filling the parking lot stage area and creating a lively and supportive atmosphere.
BPACE continues to offer adult learners pathways to employment, language acquisition, and continued education in the Baldwin Park Unified School District.
