Class of 2024 Commencement
HWDSB has announced that we are celebrating the Class of 2024 with a commencement. Please note that a commencement is different than graduation. At commencement, all grade 12s are invited to celebrate the end of high school and exciting next step into post-secondary learning. This means that we aren’t handing out diplomas, awards, or announcing honour roll. Everyone is invited – even if you aren’t graduating this June.
For those grade 12s who are graduating this year, winning an award, or being named to the honour roll, we will prepare a package for you at the end of the school year, once final grades are collected. The details on how to receive your package are to be determined.
