The people of Carnduff and surrounding area got together to celebrate the achievements of this class of 2023 graduates on June 28. This year’s ceremony started at 6 p.m. in the school gym. The 31 graduates most based locally but two from just over the border in Manitoba, sat on stage among family and friends as their sports awards, accomplishments and academic goals were acknowledged. Each called up to accept their diploma that they worked so hard for.

The town parade followed at 7:30 p.m. with an escort of police and fire trucks with flashing lights and sounding alarms, to alert the townspeople to the 4 flatbed trailers making its way around Carnduff. Weaving through the streets, the graduates stood up in their dresses and suits, even a few cowboy hats, to wave to those waiting to see them on their front lawns. Those on the side of the street got to see the procession, wave back and yell their congratulations.

Behind the grad trailers the crowd got a special surprise when four grad students, 2 girls and 2 guys, each on their own horse rode by. The girls leading the group, with their long gowns, one red and other green, flowing behind them as they made up the end of the procession. The Parade started at the school and continued down every street in town.

Next steps for the grads include moving on to work, sport, or higher education both across Canada and abroad, many having been accepting to colleges and universities in the United States.
