Carpenter High celebrates 108 grads
“It’s our last chance to share the stage before we go our separate ways.”
These words were carefully chosen from the popular movie High School Musical, and sung by Carpenter High School (CHS) valedictorian Lara van de Venter as the Grade 12 class went from students to graduates today.
Loved ones of the grads filled the gym at the secondary school today for the celebratory affair. A number of local dignitaries were also in attendance, including Meadow Lake MLA Jeremy Harrison, who is a CHS alumnus, as well as MP Georgina Jollibois. Representatives from a number of community groups also came to present over $24,000 worth of scholarships.
One of the two masters of ceremonies for the day, teacher Dion Petz, said the class of 2018 is a wonderfully unique group of students.
