Grad 2024
Who is Eligible to Participate?
Grade 12 students who are in good standing and in a position to graduate at the conclusion of the 2023-24 school year are eligible to participate in graduation-related events. Prior to participating in events, each student and a parent/guardian will be required to sign a Grad Activities Contract to acknowledge that they are aware of student expectations during the different gradation events. A standard grad fee will be assessed to all students and costs will be associated with certain events.
Grad Fee
Each Grade 12 student will be assessed a grad fee on Student/Parent Connect.
