More than 300 of Hancock s 2021 graduates were recipients of the Hancock Promise, a program that provides graduating high school students in the Allan Hancock Joint Community College District with their first year at Hancock tuition-free.
Other graduates included veterans, first-generation college students, DREAMers and essential workers.
Jeffery Hall, president of the college Board of Trustees, said this year’s graduates have the special honor of representing the 100-year legacy of the college.
“I know the last year was a challenging time, but you rose to the occasion. As a Hancock grad, you are well prepared to go anywhere and do anything,” Hall said.
