Graduating Students Say Bring on Summer!

Our students may be ready for summer but for our graduating class, the last few months have been busy and exciting!

Disney

Our graduating class enjoyed one of the highlights of their experience at Cardinal Cushing Centers – their “Trip of a Lifetime” to Disney. For many, this was their first travel experience or their first without their families – and as usual, they rose to the occasion. Thanks to the fundraising efforts of South Shore Bank and their annual St. Patrick’s Day Dinner and Auction in March, the entire trip was paid for by the generosity of our extended Cushing family. We are beyond grateful.

Prom Season!

Imagine a horse drawn carriage, gowns and tuxedos, red carpet photo opps, killer music and stone-fired pizzas, and you’ll only get a tiny sense of the magic of a Cushing prom. With the help of long-time supporter Maristela Rapo and her nonprofit Giving the Glam, no expense was spared as the graduates got into their custom duds, got their hair and makeup done, and slipped into their Cinderella shoes – all thanks to our amazing staff and an army of Glam assistants. It’s the kind of VIP treatment most of us can only imagine, and yet it was so deserved by this group of incredible graduates on their big night. Watch the highlights.

Graduation Update

Cushing is proud to announce that they had 14 wonderfully accomplished graduates this year, and the highlight reel is worth the watch. Each and every one of them shined at Cushing in their own ways, overcame their own unique hurdles, and touched our lives. As you can see from the graduation booklet, their teachers had a lot to say about how each of them sparkled and how much they will be missed. We wish you nothing less than your dreams, class of 2026!
