Please be aware Semester 1 Diploma Exams begin on Wednesday, January 13th with FLA 30. Be mindful of vacation dates/returns from Christmas break. If students miss any part of their diploma they will receive an incomplete and will have to write in April (eg. English, Social and FLA each have two parts).

Do you want to be in the grad slideshow?

Please send in your photos to pkhs.grad@5565.ca.

Make sure they are landscape format and appropriate content.

Deadline is Feb. 15, 2025.

To be eligible to graduate and to attend the graduation ceremony a student must be eligible to earn 100 credits in courses required for a high school diploma from Alberta Education, by the end of June 2025. Students must be passing courses in semester two when the final list is completed. See the link below to find a list of the specific courses required to graduate.

If you have any concerns regarding your grad eligibility, please make an appointment to see
Mr. Horb in the main office as soon as possible.

Click here to see a list of the specific courses required to graduate.

MyPass: This is where students have access to marks, credits, transcripts and much more.

Work Experience is a great way to accumulate credits and meet grad requirements. See Ms. Pearson in the Off Campus Office.

Students are asked to check the grad lists (English and French Immersion) to make sure that their name appears on the list. The list is posted outside the office. A new list will go up before Christmas, at the end of February (after diplomas)and another in early May on the bulletin board outside the Students Union room.

Students are to see Mr. Horb if their name is not on the list and see Mme Ouelette if their name is not on the French Immersion list.

Grade 12 students will host a variety of fundraising opportunities throughout the year to support the costs of graduation.

* All fundraisers require student participation, be it committee members, implementation and basic selling of product. Committee members will be in charge of planning and organizing the activity with teacher advisors.

When you purchase a gift card from Bloom Stones Floral 20% goes to PK Grad 2025.
