(5-27-26) Tri Star Career Compact proudly recognized the Med Prep Class of 2026 during its 31st annual Pinning Ceremony, held on Sunday, May 10, 2026, in the student union at the Tri Star campus, 7655 State Route 703, Celina.

The pinning ceremony marks a significant milestone for students completing the rigorous two-year Medical Preparation program. The event celebrated the dedication, perseverance, and accomplishments of graduating seniors as they prepare to pursue continued education and careers in the medical and healthcare fields.

During the ceremony, students who successfully completed both years of the program were presented with a Caduceus pin by Med Prep instructors Mrs. Speck and Mrs. Albers. The pin symbolizes the students’ successful completion of the program and their commitment to excellence in healthcare education.

The ceremony also served as a culminating event in the students’ journey at Tri Star Career Compact, highlighting their achievements while signaling the transition to the next chapter of their academic and professional lives. Family members, friends, faculty, and community supporters attended to honor the graduates and celebrate their success.
