COBA to Celebrate the Class of 2026 and Champions of Growth
Mark your calendars. On Wednesday, June 24, 2026, at 5:30 PM, Charter Oak Boxing Academy will host one of the most meaningful events of the year: the Class of 2026 Graduation, Celebration, and Recognition Day. Held at COBA’s home base at 81 Pope Park Highway in Hartford, this evening will be filled with pride, reflection, and celebration of a remarkable year of achievement.
Honoring the Class of 2026
This year’s ceremony will recognize COBA students who have reached major milestones through dedication, discipline, and perseverance. The celebration will highlight:
High school graduates who successfully balanced academics, athletics, and personal growth while preparing for their next chapter.
Students completing vocational and enrichment programs that built real world skills and career readiness.
Youth moving forward into college, training programs, and the workforce with confidence and purpose.
Students will be recognized not only for what they accomplished, but for who they have become along the way.
Celebrating Growth Beyond the Ring
COBA’s Graduation and Recognition Day is about more than diplomas. It is a reflection of the full journey. Students are supported academically, physically, and emotionally, and this event honors that holistic growth.
The evening will also recognize mentors, educators, coaches, and community partners who helped guide students throughout the year. Their commitment and belief continue to shape the environment where COBA youth thrive.
“It takes consistency, care, and community to get our young people to this moment,” said Pamela Floyd Cranford, Director of Higher Learning. “Graduation Day is our opportunity to honor the work, the growth, and the future ahead.”
