Traditional high school graduation ceremonies were cancelled this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. So, we invited Calgary and area students to share their grad fashions, photos, messages and speeches with the city in this three-part special series. You’ll find more contributions from these extraordinary students in the Friday and Saturday editions of the Herald and at calgaryherald.com.
And, to the Class of 2020, we join the rest of the city in wishing you future success.
Congratulations!
