Let me start with gratitude; thank you to our Golden Eagle team, students, and community for making this a memorable and successful year for Lemoore College. This year, we celebrated our largest graduating class ever with not one but two unforgettable commencement ceremonies, marking a historic first for our college and a milestone in our mission to serve and support every student who walks through our doors.
We were proud to be named Gold Winner for Best Trade/Technical College in the Fresno Bee’s 2025 People’s Choice Awards—an honor that reflects the power of our programs and the passion of our people. We were humbled to be recognized as a Leader College of Distinction by Achieving the Dream for our success and completion student metrics, one of only eight institutions nationwide to earn this prestigious designation in 2025.
This year also marked a significant year of development for innovative and supportive spaces within our college. Construction is nearing completion on our new Visual Arts and Applied Sciences Building—a space designed to spark imagination, creativity, and career readiness. Just steps away, the H.O.P.E. Podcast Studio has become a hub of collaboration where student voices, alumni perspectives, and staff creativity have merged into something truly golden.
At Lemoore College, students Flex Their Future, grow with grit, and Stay Golden. We’re proud to walk beside them and even prouder to witness them soar after they leave the nest,
Stay Golden and With Gratitude,
James Preston
