It’s time to pop the confetti. Today, May 8, nearly 2,000 students will graduate from Forsyth Tech’s Class of 2024 with degrees, diplomas, and certificates.

During the celebration, Trailblazers will turn their tassels and hear from commencement speaker Rusty LaRue, a former basketball coach and professional player.

Feeling inspired? You can continue your lifelong educational journey at Forsyth Tech, too. With 85 programs and courses on nine campuses (and online), there’s a path for everyone.
