Lamar State College Orange hosted another record-breaking commencement.

The event Friday celebrated 438 certificates and degrees awarded to 349 graduates. This represents a 46 percent increase in the number of graduates over last year’s Spring commencement in May of 2023. The Spring class of 2024 carried an average GPA of 3.36 with 70 percent reporting as first-generation college graduates.

“Commencement holds a special place in my heart at Lamar State College Orange,” President Thomas Johnson said. “Witnessing the accomplishments of our students fills me with immense pride. I am deeply grateful to be part of such a significant milestone in their journey.”

Dr. Wendy Elmore, Provost and Executive Vice President, said the hard work and dedication from each student who walked the stage is inspiring.

“Many of our students work a full-time job along with attending college. Every student can be proud of the statement that a certificate or degree from Lamar State College Orange says about them,” she said.

Graduates this semester come from all over the states of Texas and Louisiana, with 68 percent living in Orange County, 8 percent from parishes in Louisiana, and 7 percent each in Jefferson, Jasper and Hardin Counties. 73 percent are graduating with a technical certificate or degree in a craft, skill or trade, while 27 percent are receiving an academic certificate or degree.

It’s not too late to begin your journey at LSCO. The summer semester begins May 28 and the fall semester begins August 26, 2024.
