GUIDELINES:

The Graduation Mass and Ceremony are a wonderful celebration of accomplishment. It is a celebration of years of dedication and marks a major milestone in life. We hope that all students recognize the importance of this celebration for themselves, their families and the staff. As a result, we hope that all graduates will participate in the Mass and Ceremony. Students may participate in graduation ceremonies only once. The names of students, who are eligible for the school based graduation exercises, will be posted by the principal the first week in April. These names will also be engraved on the Grad Cup.
Only students meeting the above criteria are eligible to receive a High School Graduation Certificate issued by Christ the Redeemer School Division and awarded at the graduation ceremonies. Visa or exchange students may, with the permission of the Principal, be included in the graduation ceremonies and issued a special certificate, unless they otherwise meet all eligibility requirements for a High School Graduation Diploma.
Students who are deemed ineligible to participate in the Graduation Mass and Ceremony will also be excluded from purchasing tickets for the evening celebration.
