It's that time.... VALEDICTORIAN nominations!

The valedictorian is a student who exemplifies excellence both inside and outside the classroom. This individual demonstrates strong academic achievement, leadership, integrity, school spirit, and a commitment to positively impacting the school community. A valedictorian should be someone who inspires others through their character, involvement, perseverance, and ability to represent the graduating class with pride and respect.

 

We are now accepting nominations for Valedictorian. If you know a graduating student who embodies these qualities and would represent the Class of 2026 with distinction, please submit your nomination by FRIDAY, MAY 15 (note the date change - it is now FRIDAY) .  Nominations can be made by grade 12 students only and the google form link can be found on your “Class of 2026” google classroom.
