Celebrate Durham’s Class of 2026 with Southpoint Access!

I'm inviting families to help us recognize graduating high school seniors in Durham with a special community feature.

Celebrate Your 2026 Durham Grad

Southpoint Access is proud to offer this free feature recognizing local high school graduates. Parents and families are invited to submit a senior photo, the student’s name, age, graduating school, and a few details about what’s next after graduation. Send photos to wes.platt@southpointaccess.news. There is no cost to be included. If you’d like to support Southpoint Access and help us continue community features like this one, a donation of $5 or more is appreciated, but not required. Please fill out the form completely and make sure all information is accurate before submitting. We may edit entries for length, clarity, and style. Thank you for helping us celebrate the Class of 2026!

Parents can submit a senior photo, the student’s name, age, graduating school, and a short note about what’s next - college, work, military service, gap year, or another path.

This feature is free to participate in. To help support Southpoint Access and more local community coverage, a donation of $5 or more is appreciated, but not required.

I hope this will be a meaningful way to honor local graduates and share their accomplishments with the community. Please make sure submissions are complete and accurate, and send in a clear photo that you have permission to share.

Let’s celebrate the seniors of Durham together.

Best,
