Graduation 2023

This year our graduation will be held on June 2, 2023

All students (grade 10,11 and 12) and families are encouraged to attend the Graduation Celebration at Alternative High School from 9:00-11:00am. This is an opportunity for the whole community to recognize and celebrate the success of our 2023 graduates. 

A graduation banquet will be held in the afternoon of June 2, 2023. More information about the banquet, including tickets, time and cost will be released after Spring Break. 

Graduation Photos

Grad pictures are scheduled at the school for April 4, 5 & 6.  Students who would like to purchase graduation photos will pay a sitting fee.  If students simply want a picture for the composite, they do not need to pay the fee. Please see the attached brochure.
