This week included the last day of class for the 2026 Class of Bond County CEO!

Penelope was the only available student for the last day of class. To celebrate and talk about the future, Jes and Penelope had a “casual day” and enjoyed breakfast at Greenville’s iconic Corner Cafe.

Throughout the year, they have visited many Bond County businesses, learned from the guidance of many of Body County’s community leaders and business owners, cultivated professional relationships with their volunteer mentors, worked together and independently to create and develop businesses that can dramatically change their lives.

Penelope, Taylor, and Dominic, we are so very proud of you and the work you have done. We hope this transformative experience stays with you throughout your lives as you graduate and start your life’s next chapter.
